Hills were covered in Christmas trees when we headed past the North Carolina foothills some time ago.
Higher in the mountains, in Blowing Rock, NC the Moses Cone Manor House sits high on a hill.
Hiking in the Virginia mountains (shot below) involved heading up a number of hills.
The Virginia hills were dotted with color since the last shot was taken a few Autumns ago.
For other takes on the letter H, please visit the home of ABC Wednesday.
The Cone estate is an old favorite of mine. Did you know the manor house was used to film the scenes at the nursing home in the movie version of The Green Mile?
