Expectations

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.
