VERY pretty!

Thank you and CluckNDoodle too!


These were taken at Cades Cove on Sunday. TONS of photographers were out getting their fall pictures. It's practically a tradition for us to take a fall trip into the mountains. I took those two pictures from the backseat of the car while it was in motion. The driver *cough* was too impatient to stop more than twice.

Those mountains are beautiful.

Fall is far along here, and the display is almost over, the gold Tamaracks are about the only trees left with color. We have had rain or snow every day in the last 2 weeks, along with wind, and that takes a toll on the leaves. The sun came out for about an hour yesterday and I could not find my sunglasses, it has been so long since we needed them! It was beautiful while it lasted though!

That's a shame! Maybe next year will be better. Most of our trees are still turning and losing their leaves so we have a couple weeks left before they are bare. It seems like once the trees are bare it just becomes gloomy, overcast, cold and wet until spring. Sunday it rained and was foggy all morning, when we got up there in the mountains it cleared enough so we could enjoy the view. I think it turned out great with the clouds spilling over the mountains and the sun peaking through to highlight the colors...

These are not entries just more pictures from the trip:

The leaves haven’t quite turned here yet. However, the weather is cooling off and it’s time for camping and fires! This is what always makes me think of fall. I’ll add another entry hopefully when our leave change!

My other punkin. I know I used to take photos of other things, but I can't find any since my babies were born....

We don't get true fall like other places, even where I live now. But if you live in Texas, especially near where this picture was taken, I bet you can smell the dampness of the fall morning, feel the little bit of chill in the air, and hear the spirits of the ancestors who built this mission, and the bells calling the people to worship.
