Beautiful Mabry Mill ....just a gorgeous place to visit ..
Grazing Elk in the valley ..they were introduced to the Smokey Mountains Park in 2002 & are a great success
Hi ...Wish you were here !!
Old farm equipment can be seen scattered all over the Blue Ridge Parkway
I just love how they arrange the fences in the mountain's so pretty and rustic
A blue haze can be seen most days from the parkway
You never know what you will see around the next corner whilst driving
Incredible rustic fences and walls add to the charm
Great puddles of butterflies can be found all over the Smokey Mountains at this time of the year ..if you disturb them they 'dance' around you like magical fairies ....a lovely experience
Barns, log cabins are dotted all over the Parkway for you to explore and think of yesteryear and how large families lived in these tiny home ...above is the shed that stored the corn for the winter
Our Bedroom ..very charming and done up like a log cabin with an amazing view of the Smokey's from it's balcony that has two great rocking chairs on it
What can I say but ' It's a wonderful world '
