Summer is finally here, school is out, and I can begin taking pictures again. I visited Asheville, NC for a week and fell in love with the gargoyles at the Biltmore, plus other architectural features of the estate. I took many pictures while there and I’m going to post a few of them here.

My husband and I took the Architect’s tour while we were at the Biltmore. Great tour for seeing more of the house, plus there are some great photo ops. Unfortunately, guests are not allowed to take pictures inside the house…well, I guess some people are allowed to, just not your basic tourist like myself. The exterior of the house and the grounds are beautiful, though, and I had lots of material to work with when I came home.
