Have you ever been to the Blue Ridge Mountains? They really are BLUE! I wondered why, so I "looked it up" like my Father taught me. haha Here is what I found:
"The name "Blue Ridge" was appointed to them by early American
pioneers due to the blue hue they reflected against the horizon,
it was later discovered the blue coloring was caused by a chemical
compound released naturally by pine trees that causes a hazy
condition that makes the Blue Ridge Mountains appear blue from
a distance." Amazing.
The picture in my header at the top of my blog was taken at Cherokee National Park, not far from NC.

I can't believe you took the picture you have as a header! I mean, I know you did. And I know you're that good. It's just so perfect and so professional looking. I could easily see it stretching across a brochure for a state park or something. Is that a raft on the water?
