The colors were beautiful along the Tennessee River at Nickajack Dam.
A day trip to Crossville, Tennessee, took us into the higher elevation of the Cumberland Plateau so my parents could see the fall colors.
Thar's gold in them thar hills! Actually it's in my parents front yard.
A bit of haze in the air did not distract from the beauty.
A few days later a cold front moves through, bringing rain, and leaves begin to fall. The crimson and gold slowly fade away. Low clouds drift round the hills and spill out over the water. Fewer people stop to appreciate the view, though diehard fishermen ignore the chill in the air.

Been dropping in on your site now and then...you take pretty photos.
I live in N. GA and you hit it just as the right time. This past weekend was our peak, I believe, and the rain has made this a prettier fall than most for us.
Looking at the lovely Tennessee Fall foliage made me a little homesick for New England. The sea has my heart, but my eyes miss the kaleidascope of color of a Fall day up North. Thanks.
