North Carolina Mountain Color
(Photograph copyright 2011 by Dan Routh)
October is a month of change in North Carolina. Starting in the mountains and moving east, Mother Nature makes the transition from summer to winter with her brilliant displays of color. I think this is my favorite time of year, although I do dread to see the cold and gray of winter coming. This image is of Yellowstone Falls, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway near Waynesville. It’s located in the Black Balsam/Graveyard Fields area of Pisgah National Forest, one of the wildest and most beautiful spots in the Blue Ridge.

Old Salem Stairs

Stairway in Old Salem, a Moravian historic site in Winston Salem, North Carolina. This image is a remake of a photograph I shot several years ago on film.
Cicada

I’ve heard a lot of news reports about cicadas in North Carolina recently, but I haven’t seen or heard any of these 13 year “locusts” near my home. A trip to Denton on Sunday changed that. It was surreal as the woods around Denton Farm Park sounded alive with their drone. Thought for a moment I was in the Twilight Zone.
Natural Patterns
Patterns abound in nature as seen in a couple of still life photographs. Above, the wind creates waves in the sand on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina, while below, bacteria produces river-like patterns in a pool near a geyser in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
