The first church was photographed on May 10. It's in the Wilkesboro community on Boomer Rd. The round stained glass over the front door is of Jesus praying in the garden of Gethsemane.
The other churches were taken about a week or so later -- all in Avery County. Rhododendrons were one of the reasons that Avery County got into the nursery industry. Folks used to dig them from the woods, then they started growing them. It only makes sense that they plant them around their churches. This first church is on Cow Camp Road and is the Presbyterian Fletchers Church.
The next church is at the intersection of 221 and 181 and is the Pineola Presbyterian Church. I also have a picture of it taken a couple of weeks prior to this one before the rhodos started blooming.
The last church is the Linville Falls Community Church. It reminds me of the old hymn, oh come to the church in the wild wood.
