THE VIEW FROM UP HERE

Pictures taken at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

     Today's blog entry is a rather simple one. With winter coming along, I wanted to give everyone one last look at autumn in the Smokies before the leaves of gold are replaced with flakes of white.
     These pictures were taken about three weeks ago at the Great Smoky Mountains overlooking Mount LaConte, and everything was "autumnly" stunning. At the time these pictures were taken the weather on the mountains was a crisp 65 degrees. Three glorious things took place that fateful day: travelers from various parts of the world packed the Smokies with warm regards toward one another, Mother Nature herself smiled upon East Tennessee, and all seemed right with the world.

JEANNE: Thanks for commenting! The colors were so pretty, and it appeared to be a little bit of snow on the Mount.

HALLOWEEN SPIRIT: Thanks for your comment. If you'll look closely at the mountain pictures, you can see a little bit of snow from a distance on top. Before long, the snow will hit us but doesn't arrive heavy until January and February.

Thanks!
