Canada!!! snowy a little more than half the year and than lush green bear infested forests the rest(at least in north Alberta where i am).
Well, since this is in the OT area a bump shouldn’t bother anyone I guess… 
Browsing through and can’t help replying to this one, since I love taking pics around here. This is what it looks like here, in the mountains of Western NC-

Thanks!! 
… I could actually have added a lot more. 
I fell in love with this area when I was quite young, but was only able to finally move here six years ago. Many of us from FL seem to have gotten that idea, lot of folks from elsewhere who have decided they’re just going to stay here in WNC. Great place to visit if any of you get the chance, lot of stuff to do here, especially if you’re into the outdoors.

Thanks!! 
Appreciate it!
This next group, I’ll throw in a few from Chimney Rock, that is a bit further out from me, but if there are any here interested in visiting the area, it is good to know about, great place, though the area has been hit hard by both fire and floods and recent years.
Will also add some snow shots - snow is actually pretty rare in the lower elevations here, just got one real one this last season. So we tend to look forward to it around here - it is so pretty! A couple of these are scenes from the last group, to show the difference.
Also, a couple wildlife shots taken right out my bedroom window.

I’ll bump this with some shots of things I’m hoping to see upcoming - nice leaves in the Fall, and snow in the Winter.
The fall shots are from 2015, what I think was our last good leaf season. Last few have kind of been duds. Too much rain early on. Need some dry weather and a good cold snap or two. Husband’s work slowing down so even though we can’t hike like we used to because of his back right now, plenty still to see with just driving and easy walks which we can do on free weekends (though weekends during leaf season can be CROWDED in popular places like up on the Blue Ridge Parkway). If it is a good one, hope to spam more pics!
These birds in the snow shots are all just right out the bedroom window also. Really enjoy the snow, as it is rare here - just hope we don’t get repeatedly teased this winter like last, where snow chances fizzled out into rain. Anyways, snow hits, we dump BAGS of seed for them then I station myself at the window.
Oh, the shots with people in the river in my first post here and this one, that is right down the street from me. Though in retrospect getting a house on the river isn’t something I think I’d do again, pretty as it is - just too much stress when there is any flood threat.

My house and car a couple of winters ago.
I don’t complain about the snow in-game. It is nothing to me.

Yowza… 
I like the snow, but not quite THAT much snow!!
A few shots from up high on the Blue Ridge Parkway Saturday. Drive was kind of a dud overall, got into bad fog/cloud and rain after taking these, and not much color yet, even up high. Hopefully some better chances in a few weeks here.
Protip: Want to take in the beauty of the Fall leaves here? Do NOT come on a weekend if you can at all avoid it, in October. Really. Give you an idea of the crowds, three different places to eat we tried we couldn’t even park. And good luck with some of the popular scenic spots.

Thought these shots of this cardinal in the yard came out well so thought I’d share them.
Also, if any of you have seen the movie Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, you’ve seen my town. They redid the town for the filming, must have confused the heck out of anybody passing through then, as everything was labeled Ebbing This or Ebbing that. Not the only movie to be partly filmed here, the wreck of the train from The Fugitive is just down the river from me - https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-fugitive-train-wreck-sylva-north-carolina
Content warning but a good view of Sylva in this scene-

See the Butt topic in the main section? Well, this will refresh your butt! Bust Your Butt Falls. Really, that’s the name (though it also goes by Quarry and Drift). Cold as it is I think it would be pretty refreshing! 
Also adding a shot of Dry Falls, did a little drive today. Too bad there wasn’t more snow left.
Edit: Also a shot of Silver Run from the other week… actually appeared to have gotten frostnip on my toes because of this shot, wore sandals and waded in the freezing water to get to the vantage point for this!
