Around and about

The laurels continue to be spectacular, lasting longer than I've ever seen them. This one along the old Joe Brown Highway (Unicoi Turnpike).
A couple wonderful barns in the Coker Creek, TN area.


Sentinels. The bright sunlight and clear blue skies are a challenge for photography.
Along the Ocoee River.

Flowering galax, I think. (In the link the flower looks darker but it is listed with white-flowered plants.)

And the obligatory Hiwassee Reservoir shot.
