Finally in the Smokies

I have been in the Smoky Mountains for the last two days. Mostly spent along the creeks. Fall color this year is not great. I did get a couple of photos that I like. The one on the right was unexpected. As I was headed to Cades Cove I spotted this scene next to the road. Seems that this is a well known site to photographers. The lighting was almost perfect and I used a polarizer to enhance the color and allow a little blurring of the water. Plans are to head to Cades Cove tomorrow - weather permitting.
