Photo Journal: Smokies 2010
I managed to squeeze in a quick trip to Cades Cove this past Labor Day weekend. This is a trip I have made many, many times. Having said that, I am hard pressed to recall a more amazing and glorious morning in the Cove. It was the first crisp morning in months and a heavy fog was over the center of the Cove. The fields were freshly cut and large bales of hay dotted the fields. A warm sun gradually pierced the morning fog. Here are a few images from a couple hours in the Cove.
