Randall Glen

While in North Carolina last week, we went to visit friends east of Asheville. It was a lovely, challenging drive over mountains and through green valleys to get there.

The place is called Randall Glen. http://www.randallglen.com/

Our friend gave us the quick tour because we were concerned about finding our way "home" over "our" mountain before dark. But it was an enjoyable afternoon.

We stopped by fishing pools. The American toads were mating and laying eggs and some of the pools were filled with tadpoles.

Notice the vibration waves in the water from his or her voice.

 

There is a wide variety of livestock at Randall Glen: cows, sheep, goats, ponies, horses, geese, chickens, and, yes, llamas.

There was even a newborn lamb.

And the drive back down, (going "home" a different way) was through a valley so green, it hurt your eyes.
