Streams with fall colors in the GSMNP

This stream is within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Unusual to have so much water in the streams in the fall. We have had a very wet summer, so this year is good for the streams and fall colors together.

Two different photographs of the same location.

I think this photograph would look good in a card, but especially this card or this card.

Fall in the Smoky Mountains

Fall in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is always beautiful no matter what part you are visiting.

These photographs were taken from Newfound Gap close to sunrise.

Notice those 'Blue Ridges' in the 2nd photo.

Fall Colors at Newfound Gap - GSMNP

These photographs were taken on October 22, 2008 at Newfound Gap in the

Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Can see why they are called the GSMNP the blue ridge mountains.

The road leaving Little Greenbriar Schoolhouse

This is the road leaving the Little Greenbriar Schoolhouse located close to Metcalfe Bottoms in The Great Smoky Mountains Nations Park.

First view of Little Greenbriar School at Metcalfe Bottoms

First view of the Little Greenbriar School at Metcalfe Bottoms. Looking over the cemetary. The schoolhouse must have also been the church.

Please visit the original post at Leedra's Photos For Fun to see more photographs, including some inside the schoolhouse.

Metcalfe Bottoms in GSMNP trails and roadways

The first 2 photographs are on a walking path, on the back side of the water, close to the Metcalfe Bottoms picnic area.

The last 2 photgraphs are on the one lane roadway to the Metcalfe Bottoms schoolhouse. It is one lane, but 2 way traffic. Just had to stop to photograph. If you have visited very long you know I love the old country lanes with trees on both sides.

And these just a hint of fall colors showing. This was the last day I was able to go to the GSMNP during the fall colors this year.

Metcalfe Bottoms in GSMNP

I go to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park fairly often. I don't remember ever turning into the picnic area of Metcalfe Bottoms.

I was in for a nice surprise, and have several post to share.

These four were taken across the water from the parking lot.

The last 2 were from the same spot.

Fall Colors just barely hanging on

When I got to Spring City yesterday afternoon thought I should get out and take some last photos of the fall colors.

The rain is coming and is suppose to stay for several days. I am sure there will be no leaves left after the rain...except on the ground.

Notice the Eastern Bluebird, thinks he is hiding in the fall colors.

I think he would look good in one of my greeting cards.

Fall Colors at Cumberland Mtn State Park

I took these photographs at Cumberland Mountain State Park close to Crossville, Tennessee.

They were taken one week ago. The color was at it's peak in the valley, but up on the mountain the colors had already passed their peak.

I moved to the other side of the water and found this sign.

And then made a photograph of the bridge from this side.

More fall colors around Watts Bar Lake

These photographs were also taken between Kingston and Rockwood.

These were taken standing on the side of the highway. So quiet and peaceful to be so close to the highway.

The last photograph has 2 men out fishing in the fall afternoon. So relaxing.
