Cades Cove - Great Smoky Mountains National Park

We returned to one of our favorite places, Cades Cove, in mid-September 2013 to find several deer grazing in the late afternoon.

Two bucks...

...and a priceless view

Cobb Ridge

Another buck

Light and shadows

While this buck is easy to spot in the mowed field...

...his companions along the edge of the field blend in better

"Purple mountain majesties"

There is no entrance fee at Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  The Cades Cove loop road closes at dark.
