Trying to make us jealous of
Trying to make us jealous of your view, eh?
Well, Ok, you did.
Actually, I think that is what the mountain people in North Georgia would call "hoar frost" where the trees get coated with a heavy frost. Much prettier than plain old snow, I think.
Ha! Another view
Hard to miss that view this afternoon driving down Alcoa highway!
Wider Crop.
I thought it would be an outstanding sunset, but it ended up getting hazier between 4 and 5 pm, and then a bank of clouds muddled the peaks at the end. The frost/snow actually looked more spectacular at about 3:00 pm.
