We took a drive to our property in Bluff to hike on the land and
take photos of the beautiful Fall foliage!
Driving from Asheville, through Hot Springs to Bluff takes us along the Appalachian Trail…..
and right by Rocky Bluff Campground in the Pisgah National Forest.
So we stopped to walk around….and take MORE photos…
and we almost missed this ‘critter’!
Do you think he got the memo to dress in Autumn attire?
We can’t imagine what he was doing in the near deserted campground but he was a fun surprise!
Have you ever seen anything like him? Enjoy your day! Wear something colorful! heehee!

Oh Wow! What a beautiful area! And that chicken does blend in well...I bet someone is missing him! Talk about free range...LOL!
Simply Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Our trees are a little behind this year in changing...must be from the dry weather this summer. I love the fall tapestry that Mother Nature bestows on us.

Holy cow! A rooster out in the middle of the vegetation. I bet he has a story. the fall colors are stunning. What a beautiful time of year.
I'm loving these photos of the autumn colors! Thanks!
It looks like a perfect place to hike, I love those colors. How strange to find a rooster in the woods!
Glad you are feeling better...
No, I haven't seen anything quite like him, but he's beautiful. Doesn't quite look like a chicken. Not sure what it is. What gorgeous scenery you have around there!

Sigh... this truly is my favourite time of year when nature is robed in her finest colours. Thank you for sharing such beautiful photographs and for introducing us to such a handsome fellow too!!

Beautiful leaves!!! That rooster better get along home right quick, before he becomes the main course for a fox or coyote's supper.
Hi,
Oh my goodness - what a beautiful post on the fall colors and what a wonderful surprise to see the fabulous Rooster in the woods - his colors are just amazing and he is really dressed in fall colors.
Have a lovely day.

Nature paints the most beautiful colors on her creatures. I love that palette. Looking forward to officially meeting you tomorrow.
Hehehehe....Ha ha ha ha.....I loved every ounce of this post!
Life would not be right if you didn't have a camera in your hands woman! I adore your images each and every time I come here...you make me feel as though I went out for a hike myself to enjoy those gorgeous fall colours.....
but I didn't burn any extra calories! lol

Gosh, he's gorgeous. You had sharp eyes to spot him. Your leaves have turned more than ours west of you.
See you tomorrow.

Colorful bird! Blends in :) Gorgeous shots, beautiful place and such a beautiful time of the year!
Beautiful fall and fowl colors!
What beautiful photos! I hope we'll see lots of color on the way to Penny's house tomorrow.
Can't wait to meet you!

Beautiful Fall colors!! And A beautiful rooster too!!
My goodness! Isn't he a handsome fellow!?! I imagine someone is really missing him. What a lovely place to hike...especially during autumn.
Have a wonderful weekend.
What a handsome guy he is! Yep...I think he got the memo!!! Gorgeous photos! Have a fun fall weekend! ;) Paulette xo
What a fun surprise. I have never seen one quite like that, but he sure is dressed in a beautiful fall outfit.
Beautiful photos along your drive.
Beautiful photos. And that rooster is awesome, showing off his autumn colors.
Could it be the "old red rooster" is in hiding? Maybe he heard "she'll be comin round the mountain" planning to have "chicken and dumplins". Surely you remember the other line of that song!
Had such a great time with you today. It is so special to meet fellow bloggers in person and have them be just as delightful as imagined.
Hugs,
Penny
He's beautiful and so is Bluff! We don't have near that color here in Roanoke. Still waiting for it to arrive. *taps foot impatiently*

What a beautiful place, and what a gorgeous rooster. He looks like the ones most people use for their paintings. Karen
He's beautiful! I've never seen one like him either. All your pictures are gorgeous. Have a wonderful weekend! Twyla
OH!! Your property is my dream land!!
Look at those treeeees, and the rooster? OH, marvelous surprise!
Thank you for the adventure to a land of turning trees I can only dream of. We get a few turning trees, but nothing like that....
That is storybook quality for me....
