Today’s Photo: Don’t Miss the Forest Because the Trees

I was hiking along the trail, if it can be called that, to Laurel Falls in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park several weeks ago.  I was so focused on the beautiful falls and vast vistas, that I almost missed this.  It was getting close to sunset on the way back to the car and the light coming through the trees further up the mountain looked like a gentle fog rolling in.  I know it was just my imagination, but it seemed like the mountain wanted to transport us to a different place.  It made for a good photo opportunity though.

Today’s Photo: Laurel Creek Road Cascade

My family history goes back through East Tennessee and the Smoky mountains.  This past weekend, I took the family through Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  We took Laurel Creek Road from the Townsend Tennessee area into Cades Cove.  This was one of the many cascades along the creek.
