Autumn Colors in the Smoky Mountains 2016

Layers and layers of colors in the Great Smoky Mountains,  October 2016

Welcome to SEPTEMBER,  2017....   I hope that this month and future ones bring our family (especially son Mark) much more JOY...  August was rough for him  (first the death of his wife,  then the hurricane and flooding,  and then the price-gouging he had to endure in order to get his car fixed after the flooding)....  Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.    (You can read more about Debbie's death and our love for her by clicking HERE,   and reading that post plus THIS one).

My pictures today  (header and post picture) were taken in October of 2016  on our trip to see the Autumn Colors  in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.   I hope that we can see more of this beauty this Fall.... I'm looking forward to the Autumn Colors  (but not raking the leaves)... ha ha

Have an awesome September, my Friends.

Hugs,

FALL COLORS in the SMOKY MOUNTAINS 10/19/16

George and I took a trip to the Smoky Mountains to see all of the Fall Colors...  We definitely went at the right time this year since we saw some of the prettiest colors there that we have ever seen before...  I think I took a gazillion pictures that day!!!!  

The picture above and the header photo were both taken on 10/19/16.   The header was taken on the road between Clingman's Dome and Newfound Gap.  The picture above was taken a little south of Newfound Gap (on the North Carolina side)...

Hope you have enjoyed this season..  Have a fantastic November.

(NOTE:  I do not know what the little symbol is on my Header Photo in the middle---and I cannot get it OUT.  It is not on my original photo...  Is this a new Blogger thing?   Anyone ever seen it?  Maybe they want me to make my picture smaller --which I do NOT want to do..... Ideas??????)

Hugs,
