Rhododendrons on the Creek

[Mike Mancil]

This is from an earlier trip to the Smokies this year. I'm mesmerized by mountain streams and then add flowers and it's even better. Thanks for looking... Mike

Excellent!! The flowers really add a neat feeling to this, and the mood in the dark woods is a great contrast!

Beautiful, I love the rhodies and the water.

Beautiful - The patchy light from above and the flowers stand out nicely in the dark woods.

Hey Mike I sure do like this! Getting Rhodie flowers in it too is a huge bonus. So yours is a cut above!

Thanks everyone, the Smokies are a special place both in character and to my wife and me. We honeymooned there 40 years ago and have been going there 2 to 4 times a year for about 30 of those years.... Mike

Thank you. This spot is very close to the main road through the Park but while there it felt remote and, indeed, private... Mike
