After the rain...

We made a very fast trip to All Decked Out in Gatlinburg on Monday night, arriving after dark ... in the rain!  The forecast was for more rain today.  But after a brief early-morning shower, the sun peaked through the clouds, which were very low.  In fact, we were in the clouds!  I grabbed my camera and took a few exterior pictures - like this one:

Then I went over to the house across the street and took this picture from their deck:


















The point is this.  Sometimes we hear people say, "Oh, I don't want to go to Gatlinburg if it's going to rain."  But these pictures are proof that some of the best scenes are in periods where it is raining or has just finished raining.  Don't let the weather stop you.  It's beautiful in Gatlinburg in all types of weather!

We'll tell you more about this trip in coming posts.  As usual, there is lots going on!
