Where Am I? Answer!

 

I just realized that I did not ever post the answer identifying where the photo was taken from my March 11 post!  My excuse is that I was on vacation and simply forgot. I apologize!

The photo was taken in Marion, Virginia as we were driving down I-81. Years ago, the water treatment plant painted the "hot" and "cold" on the water towers.

Upstate South Carolina

All of the following photos were taken at Table Rock Resort, Pickens, SC

Ginormous boulder sitting in the middle of a beautiful wooded area

View from the top of that ginormous boulder

That is one determined little tree

I have always loved rocks and boulders and there are HUGE ones here

The female Cardinal was not camera shy . . . 

. . . .the male Cardinal was very elusive (except for when I was sitting on the deck sans camera)

Just chillin'

What'cha doing?

Pickens County Flea Market

We visit upstate South Carolina every Spring. One of the highlights of our trip each year is visiting the Pickens County Flea Market. This flea market is HUGE! It covers 60 acres and has over 2000 tables!  Massive! You better be sure to wear some good walking shoes! It is held on Wednesdays each week from 5:00am to 3:00pm.

It is impossible to take a photo that shows the size of this flea market!

If you are looking for plants, everything from vegetables to flowers to trees are available at very good prices. Fresh produce is abundant and much cheaper than anything you could pick up in a grocery store.  Then there is the "stuff." Some folks have elaborately set up sales areas and you can tell they do this on a regular basis. Then there are the tables that look like the folks just walked through their house or garage that morning and threw some stuff in a box to sell. If you are ever in the area, be sure to visit this flea market.
