Fall around here is such a beautiful time of year. The mountains just glow for every sunrise and sunset. We are blessed with a wonderful view of all the fall colors from our front porch and from a few last trips out to the lake.

Mountains across the street. I think we need a better camera to really capture how beautiful the mountains are in the evening when the sun is setting. They look like they are on fire.
Cherokee National Forest. You can see how much they have dropped the water levels.
Hunter feeding a few ducks scavenging food from the end of season boaters.
This little guy got really close to the boat. You could have fed him from your hand...but not Hunter. (You guys remember the zoo? Hunter doesn't particularly care to touch undomesticated animals.)
