Besides visiting with special friends in Gatlinburg in December and seeing all of the gorgeous Christmas lights and decorations, George and I also took time while we were in the Smoky Mountains to make a quick trip to one of our favorite places, Cades Cove.
I love Cades Cove during all seasons ---and one of these days, I need to share different photos from each season for you in one blog post... BUT--today, I'll share some WINTER photos taken by us in December, 2011.
The picture above shows the John Oliver cabin in the distance ---along with the mountains in winter AND the beautiful blue sky. Wouldn't you love to have a cabin like this in the mountains somewhere???? I'd LOVE it!!!!!
Be sure to click on the pictures to enlarge them!!!!
We took one of the dirt roads across the cove ---and stopped to take pictures of the valley and the mountains.
This is my Sweetheart ---also taking pictures in Cades Cove. Isn't the sky just gorgeous on that mild December day????
You can see the little dirt road we were on that day... There's just no place like Cades Cove in the Smokies!!!!! (I'd love to see it with snow on the ground sometime!)
We saw several deer out and about the day we were there. I snapped this picture with my long-lens---and didn't realize until I got home and put it on my computer that there was a little one lying there near his mother.... Neat, huh?
We passed by some turkeys eating (and paying no attention to us) in the field.
I had to show you this side of the turkey so that you could see some of his pretty colors.
Here is one more beautiful photo of the SNOWY Smoky Mountains, from beautiful Cades Cove. Be sure to enlarge this picture. Such an awesome place!!!!!
Have a wonderful day.
Hugs,
Betsy
