It has been an interesting and controversial weekend. I have engaged in mental sparring with a lot of people that are much smarter than me, and it has taken its toll!
My ability to move quickly on my feet has diminished with each passing year. It is a new world, completely different from the one I grew up in so many years ago.
The best part the passing of time, though, is that each year the Great Smoky Mountains revert one year more back to a more pristine state. In the nearly forty years that I have frequented the park, the changes are dramatic.
The trees are bigger, the balds are grown over, and the overall look and feel is more natural and serene.
Have a great day!

Richard....what peaceful pictures! How they remind us of how simple we are compared to the world around us!
Thanks for the share...I love your work!

Oh to be able to teleport into one of those scenes
Cheers Brother Richard !!!

Richard - These are great photos. Makes me wish for a trip to the mountains - in the spring, of course!
Richard, I know what you mean. I am battle weary too, not from AR, from RL. So, thank you for the photos, is my favorite time of year that you posted, you must have read my mind. I am going to gaze a bit more!
And by the way, I can't say you aren't quick on your feet. I think that you probably lead the pack with your internet marketing, so there!
The problem is that unkindness and rudeness is not in your nature. You are a gentleman and a scholar, a poet and of course an artist, on top of being a realtor, LOL. Now that would tire anyone out.
Thom...
And right now, I need peaceful! THX and have a great day.
Sheldon...
I need to be there too! I love it! Thanks.
Gary...
Autumn is my "busy season" for photography so I am gearing up! Thanks my friend.
Richard, hmmm, mental sparring...sounds like you've found the power of surrendering this weekend, to something more valuable than the resounding clash of ideas - to accepting the beauty of the world around us. Namaste.
Where were you standing when you took these photos? Public property?
(Couldn't help myself Richard..the brat in me just had to do it :-)
Absolutely gorgeous! That is what I miss about living in Florida. Thanks for sharing!
Andrea...
I just wrote a nice long-winded comment to you but lost it somehow. Thanks for all of the kind words, I really appreciate them! Now what was I saying before...who knows, I can't remember! lol and thanks.
Janice...
I admit that I had to look up the word Namaste, and thank you very much!
Kris...
LOL I actually thought about adding that to the post but then decided that I didn't want to go there! Great minds think alike!
Absolutely gorgeous photos Richard. And, don't sell yourself short on the sparring front. You do just fine!
Beautiful pictures. What a great way to get the batteries recharged.
I asm with you Richard...We have had so much going on that we have not spent much time at the cabin this year at all. Alaska I looking GOOD!
Richard, things do change over time and as your photos show for the better. Have a good Sunday!
Richard - time to unwind and relax. Great pictures. We are heading up that way tomorrow for a couple of days in cooler, less humid weather. The colors won't be so great, but, it is nice anytime of the year.
Beautiful photos! I love the peace, quite and natural beauty of the Smokies ( being a Tennessee Girl). I can just hear the music in my head " Take me home, country roads!" Thanks for sharing these. I have a smile on my face now! Dixie
It's been a tough week for me as well....
Beautiful photos, each one of them!
Great mountain pics my friend, reminds me that Fall is around the corner and it may be time to see some changing leaves in a few months.
Gary: These pictures are just perfect to get me in the mindset of a relaxing Sunday at home. You are so very talented.
Richard - Your photos are simply stunning. Thank you so much for sharing this visual respite on a peaceful Sunday morning. Now go outdoors, soak up some of nature's energy, breathe deep and relax. The world will continue to spin ... and we will all be here tomorrow. :)
Richard, Your photos have such a distict style to them. The one of the water is really neat. I like the smoky smooth quality of the water over the rocks.
I think that I am starting to suffer burn out and need to visit some of the places you have pictured above.
Fall colors are coming soon.
Terrific photos -- they are so colorful and wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
We just came back from Hendersonville. It is a beautiful area and the mountains are quite a sight.
I walked in the middle of the sparring and walked back out again! Thanks for sharing the awesome pics!
Richard, these photos are just amazingly beautiful and make me want to take a road trip starting now!
And I understand the aging thing, even though the years are being pretty good to me so far. Good genes and Resveratrol!
That is why I like Speachless Sunday posts - by that time I am crushed from the previous week!
Richard: I hope you got to relax yesterday! Very nice photos, I'm happy to hear the Smokey's are returning to their glory. How does that song go?, "I'm as good once as I ever was..."
