Lake Glastowbury, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. October 14, 2010.
Last Thursday Betsy and I drove to the Foothills Parkway on the edge of the Smokies looking for autumn color. But we found some pretty autumn color even before leaving the Glade.
We decided to take the back way from home to avoid some of the traffic and crossed the dam forming Lake Glastowbury, which is about two miles from our house.
Lake Glastowbury is one of eleven man-made lakes in Fairfield Glade. While Glastowbury is not the largest, it is a pretty lake. Most of the homes along the lake are on wooded lots, so it’s easy to imagine being out in the country.
The view as we crossed the dam was so pretty that we took advantage of a pullout and stopped to get some pictures.

It’s really nice to have such wonderful autumn color in our ‘hometown’.
