Ogre and I winded our way up to the mountains in West Virginia for our anniversary earlier in the week. We took a picnic lunch to Cacapon Resort State Park and practically had the place to ourselves. I spotted these marvelous morning glories growing beneath the deck at the Cacapon Mountain Overlook. I also took my first panorama shot standing above them, as shown below.
