Greetings from the Smokies

Greetings from the Great Smoky Mountains. I took the opportunity to enjoy an early spring before things green up in the northwoods. So, off to the Smokies. It has been a bit of a late spring in the there. However, there have been many things in bloom. Most of my photos were close-ups of wildflowers, but I did get a few of the streams such as this one on Tremont Creek. The wildflowers in the Smokies are phenomenal this time of year. This grape vine leads through a carpet of trilliums. Other images also caught my eye such as the raindrops on the leaves of a blue cohosh.
