Black Balsam

It's blueberry season here in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  We hit the Blue Ridge Parkway in search of the scrumptious berries.  Black Balsam is known as a great place to do some pickin' so we stopped at the overlook and hiked up.  We didn't have much luck with the blueberries but it was a breath taking hike. 


We found some blackberries along the way.


The blueberry bushes had been picked over as the crop wasn't that great this year.

We made it to the top.


My boys (Gumbo included)


The views were amazing.


Storm clouds rolling in.







Who has the longest tongue?   Gumbo takes the prize!!
