While I was in the Smoky Mountains, I found myself fascinated by the windows in the old cabins and houses at Elkmont. I'm pondering that and will be sharing more with you soon, but here's a tiny preview to keep you wondering. I love both shadows and reflections...how could I resist both in the same shot?
![]() I went to a photo workshop in the Smoky Mountains titled "Autumn Brilliance." But when I got there, everything was still green, as Mother Nature was taking her sweet time ushering in the Fall colors this year. Our instructors kept reminding us that green is a color. And we groaned and made the best of it. After all, the Smoky Mountains are still beautiful in every season. But I heard stories from locals about how nasty some tourists were to them because the annual fall color show had not started. Seriously? ![]() Who would let that influence how they treated the people they met? I found fabulous sights and colors to photograph, and I'll just have to go back sometime for autumn brilliance. When have you found that your expectations influenced your perceptions and actions? |
