WILD PINK. I had seen these in the woods by the house and along the Huckleberry Trail, but never bothered to find out what they were. (I suspect that these may actually be Fire Pink — Silene virginica — rather than Silene caroliniana. But my expertise on plants, and living things in general, is about nil.)

The Blue Ridge Gazette is a great source for a daily dose of frequently stunning photography from around the region.
