Despite no sign of the sun on its big day, the winter solstice,
I continue to believe . . .
. . . that the nights will shorten and the days will lengthen.

Who Am I? What Am I Doing Here?
- Vicki Lane
- western NC, United States
- I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors. I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out. As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over four years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures. There's more information about me and my books on my web site: http://vickilanemysteries.com/

Extraordinarily beautiful, Vicki.
Makes a great picture, but I'm glad I'm not driving in it.
Hello Vicki
Peaceful!
No more words are needed.
Best
Tracy :)
And that's why they're called the Smokey Mtns.
Lovely
Absolutely stunning photos today Vicki. We've tried unsuccessfully to capture these beautiful scenes and you've do. Merci.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Sam
nice...loving your mountains vicki...beautiful
and you shall be rewarded
Beautiful pictures, Vicki. I love "fog in the hollers." It says "home" to me. Jim
Gratitude...you use your talented eye to share so generously with us. (I had more to say, but the error message ate it all up, such is blog life)
I'm a believer. When we lived in dreary WI, I longed for the Winter Solstice, positive proof that the days would lengthen. Even if it would be nanoseconds per day for a couple of months.
Not a glimpse of sun here on the farm today though Justin told me it was shining in Asheville. Sometimes the clouds just linger around the mountains, as Kath pointed out. And the Blue Ridge, that most distant line of mountains in my pictures, has been quite blue.
I really don't know how you ever get anything done... If I had that view I'd just gaze and gaze. The misty strands are so lovely in these photos. I've only ever heard about these mountains in songs and books but, oh, I long to see them for real.
