Tennessee is a beautiful state any time of the year.  I can’t say that autumn is my favorite season, but the mountains of eastern Tennessee are gorgeous when the leaves change and provide a mosaic of color.  This picture was taken on the Foothills Parkway

Autumn Color in the Yard

This picture was taken several years ago — we still don’t have much color here in the Glade this year.  We also don’t have quite as many trees inner yard since a wind storm blew two of these trees onto the house.  (Fortunately the damage was relatively minor and quickly repaired.)  But we have memories  of the beautiful color in the past, and we’re hopeful of more autumn color in the days ahead.

Foothills Parkway Autumn Color

For many years Betsy and I would make a two-day circle through the mountains of east Tennessee and western North Carolina to enjoy the autumn colors.  We haven’t done that this year since we’ve both had some health issues and the autumn colors are pretty dull this year.

Fortunately we have many photographs to remind us of the glorious colors we did see in previous years.  This picture was taken along the Foothills Parkway a few years ago.

As yet we don’t have much autumn color here in the Glade, but once the leaves start changing the results can be beautiful.  (This picture is from my archives.)
