May 23-24, 2009 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina The Blue Ridge Parkway runs from Great Smoky Mountains National Park northeast through North Carolina, continuing into Virginia.   Vi har tilbragt de sidste to dage på Blue Ridge Parkway, en landevej, der går 755 km fra Smoky Mountains i North Carolina gennem Blue Ridge Mountains i Appalachia til Shenandoah i Virginia. We spent the past two days on the Blue Ridge Parkway, which runs 469 miles from the Smoky Mountains in North Carolina through the Blue Ridge Mountains in Appalachia to Shenandoah in Virginia.         Vi har været gennem 25 tuneller, til Aprils store fornøjelse.... We've driven through 25 tunnels, to April's great entertainment....     Lige nu blomstrer lyserøde azaleaer i massevis langs Blue Ridge Parkway. Her er også almindelige rododendron, men de er ikke sprunget ud endnu. Right now lots of pink azaleas are blooming along the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are regular rhododendron here too, but those are not in bloom yet.

Bear i støvregnen ~ Bear in the mist     Man kunne sagtens tilbringe en hel ferie på Blue Ridge Parkway. Men i denne omgang bruger vi den bare til at komme fra Smoky Mountains til Mount Airy, hvilket vil sige, at vi har taget cirka halvdelen af Parkvejen på to dage. Vejret har ikke rigtig været til billeder, masser af regn og tåge, men jeg kunne selvfølgelig ikke så'n helt styre mig.... You could easily spend an entire vacation on the Blue Ridge Parkway. But this time around we're just using it to get from the Smoky Mountains to Mount Airy, which means we've gone about halfway up the Parkway in two days. We haven't really been having picture weather, lots of rain and fog, but of course I couldn't entirely help myself....
