Xcite #AtoZChallenge #SkywatchFriday

For me, "X" is the hardest letter to use in the Blogging from A to  Challenge, but I remembered something that has been open in my mall since around 2019.  Perfect!

Xcite. Wrestling exhibitions and practice take place in this space.

Today is also Skywatch Friday. What can be more Xciting than some nice sky pictures, including one where the sky has provided clouds almost like an X?

Let's go to the Carolinas today, both North and South.

Mt. Airy, North Carolina, sunset, February 18.  We had not been in the area since August of 2017 and it's our overnight stop on the way to South Carolina.

The next morning, I took this picture as a mockingbird sang (and sang, and sang....)

From a slightly different angle.

Lake Norman, near Charlotte, North Carolina, has become more and more popular over the years.  We've seen the area grow from the comfort of our car.

Near Moorseville, North Carolina.  Things change as population grows  This certainly wasn't here in 2017.  Express toll lanes.  In 1990, the population of Moorseville was about 11,000.  Today, it's around 51,000.  Xciting times for this area.

Finally, the Saluda River, South Carolina 2017.

Joining Yogi and other skywatchers each Friday for #SkywatchFriday.

"X" day in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge.  My theme: Exploring South Carolina and the Eastern United States.
