In October, 2009, Betsy and I took the scenic route home from Maggie Valley, North Carolina, by taking the Blue Ridge Parkway from Maggie Valley to its southern terminus in the Smokies. Although we were a little late to see the best of the autumn colors, the mountains were still a glorious sight, which we thoroughly enjoyed, stopping at just about every overlook on our way.

George, I so appreciate the autumn colors and thoughts of cool breezes in this hot, humid, dry late spring we are having. A little over 11 inches behind in rainfall this year, sigh.

Very beautiful. George you know that is NOT a cascade … it’s a waterfall…just ask Betsy. 🙂

I love those rides where you can just pull off and enjoy your surroundings. The fall colors are beautiful to see.

While I’m overjoyed to have spring here — well, at least for a day or two at a time — I do love the brilliant autumn colors and your captures are awesome, George! Hope your week is going well! Enjoy!

It has been so very hot this Spring that visions of Autumn weather look very good to me! I have always loved the colors of fall.

I love autumn so very much – but for us here – we’ve had one hot day and not yet even a warm spring! Patiently waiting!!!

What a lovely collage George! I really like the way you put it together.
It’s funny my Stepdad told my Mom the other day that fall would be here before we knew it. I love fall and your lovely images but I can wait for it to actually get here. 🙂
