Conservatory orchids are doing incredible things this year at the beginning of Spring. Below is my friend Jim Cardin who came for a 5 day early spring visit posing with Abner in front of Looking Glass Falls.

The shot above is Jim and Abner at the Cherry Grove overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Directly behind Jim is Looking Glass Rock, which is a large bald and is one of the most recognizable geological formations in this part of the country. Below is another shot of Looking Glass Falls.
