This week I had so many beautiful submissions. Just scrolling through the submitted photos on the Only in North Carolina Facebook Page is a great reminder of how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful state. Last week I asked photographers to send me pictures of places and spaces that made North Carolina home to them. Enjoy this week’s selections, a mix of both beautiful buildings and beautiful landscapes.

Marion Mersch “Airlie Gardens, Wilmington” -Marion Mersch

- Mighty Sentinel
Danny Richard Buxton “This mighty oak in a pasture along the Blue Ridge Parkway has stood guard over this section of High Country for many decades, survived during two centuries and witnessed the transition from one millennium to another. It offers shade in the summer and shelter at times from rain and snow, though I would not want to stand beneath when lighting was present. Grandfather fades to shadow as the sun sinks deeper in the western sky, the cattle don’t mind as they finish off their late day feeding. Soon, I will gather my gear, head back to my parked auto, and drive back to the base of Mineral Springs Mountain where I call home.” -Danny Richard Buxton
- Whale sighting
Michelle Mulchi “My friend, Ed Nelson, captured this awesome shot of a humpback whale coming up to feed on menhaden at Cape Lookout a couple of weekends ago.” -Michelle Mulchi
- Hot air balloon
Donna Helms Flowers “Asheville, NC this weekend.” -Donna Helms Flowers
