On this relaxing, beautiful afternoon, I thought I would share a few of the photos that my uncle captured on a recent trip to the Smokey Mountains. I wish I could show them all to you, but I chose a few that I know you would be able to appreciate with me. Beauty that man, no matter how much effort he would put into it, could not create. Grab a cup of coffee and take some time to see the scenery. Thank you dear uncle.
"Dear Lord,
Help me to live this day quietly, easily;
To lean upon Thy great strength trustfully, restfully;
To wait for the unfolding of Thy will patiently, serenely;
To meet others peacefully, joyously;
To face tomorrow confidently, courageously."
a simple prayer for my day, in the "The Speaker's Quote Book" by Roy B. Zuck

Breathtakingly beautiful is all I can say! Thank you for sharing the eye of beauty the LORD has given to your Uncle that is reflected in every shot!
Thank you also for sharing that beautiful prayer at the end.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your precious family. Love you.
Very beautiful. Looks so peaceful.
I want to go there!
Isn't it amazing how nature speaks to us; to the deepest parts of us? Fall scenes & river scenes are my favorites. They speak of something wholesome, something of great value.
Thank you for sharing such amazing beauty.

Your uncle took such beautiful photographs! He even got so close to the black bears -- a little scary. We were warned so often in Yellowstone National Park to stay far away from the bears as they are very fast and you can't outrun them.
I hope you and your family have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Love that quaint white church! But I really came looking for pics of those babies...too sweet! Have a wonderful day of giving THANKS!
