{ Friday Foto Friends #105 }

Last Friday I suggested we take a drive thru Cades Cove. I'd been wanting to go for quite some time and thought it might be the perfect day since the weather was beautiful. I'm pretty sure a couple of other thousand folks thought the same thing because of the traffic. We stopped at a small IGA in Townsend and got lunch from the deli and drove into the park for a picnic. It was a wonderful day. The only thing to make it better would have been to see a bear. We did see two deer and some turkeys.....
well, besides Pappy and me!

I have plenty of fotos to share with Y'all and some of them show exactly why they're called the Great Smoky Mountains!

I believe these pics are an indication of autumn's last hurrah.
We're fixing to get rain and cooler temps in our neck of the woods this weekend. And how can it be that next week is THANKSgiving?!?

HOPE everybody has a wonderful weekend!

ONE-HUNDRED FOUR Friday's, Y'all!

TWO YEARS!

Yes....

today is the 2-year anniversary of our Friday Foto Friends link-up!

But, did any of you know that it's actually been longer than that? I started posting fotos in August of 2013, over FOUR years ago! At that time, I simply called it Friday Foto and it wasn't a link-up. I wanted to share the very first one I posted way back then but somehow (operator error, I'm sure) many of my pictures from several years ago have disappeared and none of the Friday Fotos from 2013 are visible.

😢

So be prepared to scroll through a bunch of fotos that I think are some of the better ones from the last four years.

Whew!

Did you make it through all those?

Thanks to everybody who has been faithful to link up and share fotos of things that have meaning to you or what's going on in your part of the world! I've met some ladies from all over the world through our blogs and I truly appreciate those who take the time to link up each Friday!

Wonder where we'll be in four more years?

HOPE everybody has a great weekend!

{ Friday Fotos ]

There are some folks I follow on Instagram and they post the most awesome pictures of our Great Smoky Mountains and surrounding areas. That's where I get many of my blog headers and I want to give them a shout-out because I'm so blessed to be able to share their photography here on my blog.
