We just arrived home from our weekend with friends up in the Smoky Mountains. This is the view we enjoyed from the rented house that is near the top of a very big hill.

There was a bit of stitching going on. Six more blocks for the "
and Still Counting" project were stitched by Susan, Virginia, and me.

Here are a few of the photos I took on the Motor Nature Trail that loops out of and back into Gatlinburg. It's a one-way narrow road over five miles long and the next best thing to actually taking a hike. There is the option to park and take short hikes off the car trail.





All of the photos were taken from our slowly moving car. I set my camera to "action" mode for a fast shutter speed. The next two were taken through the sunroof.


I thank all of you who responded to the Pay It Forward artshare meme. The first two participants, Deb and Amy, had responded before I left home. The third is Koroda. Thanks to all the rest of you for leaving comments and I'm sorry for any disappointment about not getting to partake. I hope each of you continue to pursue a PIF in which to participate.
Fantastic photos!
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking pictures, Nellie! I can nearly smell the crisp air and hear the calmness.
ReplyDeleteI just learned about the "And Still Counting" project not long ago. I had the pleasantry of meeting Caron at a quilt show not long ago. Although...at the time of meeting her...I didn't know anything about ASC. What a marvelous and unique project. A movement!
Those last 2 photos are just fab! Great inspriration. I love the off-centred linear tree trunks in the final photo. There's a quilt in there!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are gorgeous!!! I live near the Rocky Mountains, but grew up near the Smokies. I prefer the Smokies for their fall colors!! Thanks for the great taste of home!
