More from Cades Cove, May 23, 2011

On our May daytrip to the Smokies,  we just HAD to stop and take a few pictures of gorgeous Cades Cove.   There's just not a more beautiful place on earth I don't think!!!! Relax and enjoy!




We loved seeing the yellow wildflowers in the field --and also the horses.  Neat, huh?




Everything was so green and lush in the 'cove'.





See that black bear in this picture?  I captured him with my long lens!!!




Being at Cades Cove will always bring a smile to George's face.




It didn't matter which direction we looked while in the cove...  It is gorgeous from ANY and EVERY direction.




Bring a blanket,  have a seat with me,  and let's have a picnic!!!!




Hope you enjoyed seeing some May Beauty in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in Tennessee.

Have a wonderful day!!!!
Hugs,
