A Bridge Covered With Flowers
We were in North Carolina last week and took the scenic route home through narrow mountain roads. In Lake Lure we happened upon something interesting — an abandoned highway bridge over the Broad River beautifully landscaped with flowers! It was raining, but we stopped anyway.

That was a delightful find. All credit to those volunteers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous bridge!!! I want my patio to look like that but smaller! I am trying to do stuff to make my patio more interesting... to me. Good for you for stopping in the rain!
ReplyDeleteOh that's so pretty! That would be a great asset to any town.Lovely pics too.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. From your title I thought you might be in New England. There's a sign on I-95 for Bridge of Flowers. It may be Connecticut, not sure. Always thought of stopping there but never have.
ReplyDeleteBravo to the volunteers who do this. We need more beautification all over the world.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous! And sun would have washed out the colors so it was for the best.
ReplyDeleteThose volunteers are creating such beauty, the walk near the water looks peaceful.
ReplyDeleteThose volunteers are doing a wonderful job keeping all in ship shape. Certainly a very pretty garden.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. Volunteers do a wonderful job for the community everywhere.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Volunteers have a special place in heaven, I believe.
ReplyDeleteWow, so beautiful all those colourful flowers!
ReplyDeleteThat was absolutely beautiful! So glad you stopped so we could see it. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful! We have driven past Lake Lure many times going to the mountains, but never stopped. Sure glad you moved down south, otherwise I would never have seen all this beauty that has been right under my nose all these years.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDear Cynthia, how beautiful and how innovative. It reminds me of a PBS program I saw about making a park on top of the subway system or something like that in New York. I can't remember exactly, but it was using something for a new purpose rather than simply tearing it down! Peace.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! What a wonderful was to showxase plants and by volunteers how impressive is that! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is indeed a cool bridge! Amazing that it's all done and maintained by volunteers. Says a lot about the local community. Have a great weekend!
