This week I’m with the Family in The Great Smoky Mountains. We have been trying to enjoy a few days away from the normal rigors of everyday working life. This is our first vacation since our son was born. Already we have decided that on our next vacation we will bring along a babysitter.
I’m up early every morning. I usually grab a hot cup of coffee then it’s a quick dash to the top of Clingmans Dome, the highest point on the Tennessee side of the mountains, to catch the sunrise. It’s been hit or miss with the sunrise. On two of my three attempts, the mountain top was under cloud cover. From our hotel to the top of the dome it’s a good hour round trip. But with no time to waste on this trip, I’m off exploring other locations for good photo opportunities. The park is in full bloom. The spring flowers, dogwoods and redbuds are plentiful. The creeks and rivers are flowing and the wildlife is abundant.
Here are a few photos; I hope that you will enjoy them. I’m planning a return trip this coming fall in late October for the autumn colors. If you are interested in joining me drop me a line.
