From a drive around the lake



Day after Halloween.
The best view around, Hiwassee Lake.

Up Panther Top

Once a year, the Forest Service opens Panther Top lookout for a couple weekends so people can see the fall views.

You can walk up the road, though, about a mile, to get there, any other time of the year.

This time, a ranger was on duty to explain the views.

Persimmons. Someone needs to shake them down and make persimmon butter.

Playing around







I got a new camera to take closeups, since it was the one thing my trusty Kodak zoom couldn't do well. It's about time to record the flowers before they go away, anyway.
