Hi John,
I got home late Sat night and I'm about to go through the images. It rained every day we were there. I went up to Waterrock several times at night and the clouds covered the mountain most nights. I went to lower elevations but the color wasnt there. There was one night where we got some pastel colors so hopefully I can get something from that evening.
I think I got a few decent shots in the creeks but again the days were limited by rain showers. Everything was slippery. I did find some decent images of colored leaves that had fallen and one day I discovered a patch of wildflowers full of butterflies. I also got a few good elk images but the sunsets I'm afraid were a bust for the time we were there.
Cades Cove was a parking lot. It rained pretty much the entire time in the loop. No wildlife at all other than a few deer in the woods near the road. On the way back along the Gap, everything was fogged in so you really couldn't see much of the valleys or the mountain tops. It was a tough drive along the highway. I did stop and find a nice cascade of water that isn't on any map. I lucked out and pulled over to take a break from driving in the rain. I jumped out of the car and found the cascades not far from where I parked. I waited for the rain to let up some and fired off a few shots.
Ya never know about the weather. I think that area was hit with both of the storms that came up from the Gulf during the time we were in the area. Just bad timing but it happens. I still think I'll manage to get a few I'll be pleased with once I go through them all. I also noticed an old truck in a beat up shed along a path I walked not far from my cabin. That might end up being a decent image too. My instagram is at ksmmike. I'll post some images there from the trip later this week once I work them up.
thanks for asking
Mike
