Grayson Highlands in the Spring

Memorial Day the hubby and I took a leisurely drive up to Grayson Highlands.  I visited Grayson Highlands in March in search of wild ponies.  No ponies and nothing was in bloom.  So, I went searching for the ponies again.  Spoiler alert: I still didn't see the ponies.  But, everything was green, lush, and beautiful.

Our drive took us around Watauga Lake and through Johnson County.  There's a huge Italian-style villa and vineyard, with a winery near by.

Not all of the park was open in March.  Deanna and I missed out on this beautiful spot with another overlook. 

 

I got down on the ground to take a picture of the flowers and found this little inch worm!  It's not the best photo, but I like him!

 I highly recommend the visitor center at Grayson Highlands.  They had several nice displays.  I loved this saw mill blade.
