More Beautiful Leaves

We started our day in the Smokies...I have attached some pictures we took along the way. Today it rained and was extremely windy. We were going to go to Clingman's Dome, but when we got there there was no visibility and it was FREEZING cold. Tonight we are in Asheville in a Holiday Inn with a beautiful fireplace in the lobby. Don and I sat by the fire and chatted with a couple from Georgia - I was finally able to thaw out.
This picture and the one below show opposite sides of the same tree.

This was a little building in the Smokies with fungi growing on the roof...looked rather interesting.
Leaves covered the ground of this little path.
Notice Don's right hand, I caught it in motion as he was telling me to hurry up and take the picture. He's tired of posing - I guess I won't be getting too many more photos of him!




View from our hotel in Gatlinburg.
We ended our day at the Biltmore Mansion. The mansion and the grounds are exquisite. The tour of the house took us 2 hours to complete. They are preparing it for the Christmas season and the rooms were beatifully decorated for the Holidays. We are considering returning tomorrow when it is not raining.
