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? |
