Last weekend we took a trip up the mountains of NC and TN. The fall colors were not quite at peak but were still beautiful and the weather was pretty much perfect. We took a drive through Great Smoky Mountain National Park, spent a night in Knoxville, drove the Cherohala Parkway and spent a night in Cherokee (losing a little at the casino). It was a rejuvenating trip for sure.
House in the Horseshoe. We stopped here on the way out of town and so glad we did. Beautiful farm country and so quiet and isolated. |

I thought this leaf was interesting--split in half down the middle--half red, half yellow. |

Looks as if this year's colors are not too shabby. Glad you had such a nice trip. Your pics make me a little homesick for the Northwest mountains of NC.
Yes it was so beautiful--I want to live in the mountains again myself.
