The hills are alive with color...........

I love Autumn! I used to think spring was my favorite season, but ever since moving to Tennessee many years ago, autumn (or fall) has jumped ahead in the line-up. For one thing, after 4 months of sweltering heat, it just feels extra good when the cool, crisp nights arrive. But it's really about the color. No where on earth is there more beauty than in Tennessee in the autumn. If you visit here in the autumn you might want to check out the Great Smokey Mountains. Here's a sampling of the colors in my neighborhood:


This is standing in my sideyard looking down the street.





Another view from the back yard-peering over the fence



Trees that belong to my neighbors ...........beautiful!


This is a close up of my Dogwood Tree.

Come visit us in the autumn and see the beauty for yourself. The hills are alive with color!

Love all your photos! I keep smiling when I'm driving around, seeing all the new foliage.

When I drive down Northshore it's hard to keep my eyes on the road!
