Cades Cove

We are headed home from our trip to Washington and Richmond. We made it to Pigeon Forge, Tenn. at about 4 p.m. today. Just before dark, Mamaw Pug, the Hubs and I decided to drive out to Cades Cove in the Smoky Mountains National Park. We were really pushed for time, since the cove closes at dusk, but we hurried out anyway. Mamaw Pug had always wanted to see the leave turning colors in the park and we had a small window of opportunity so we took it. The Aggie and I took the following pictures. (The cool deer pictures are ALL HIM.) The Aggie climbed a fence with Mamaw Pug and followed these two guys. He was literally 10 feet from these bucks. I was in car because I'm still hurt from my fall from a tram in D.C. and thus not allowed to "experience" the wildlife. Nonetheless, It was one of the best experiences of my life. So beautiful, peaceful and natural. A perfect end to a wonderful trip.

The two deer photos looks like the scene right before the video you see on "When Animals Attack!"
