While Bob drove me through the Smoky Mountain National Park this melody welled up from deep within my soul. The recording on my mP3 player was entitled Träumerei. Turns out it has nothing to do with TRAUMA - the word is German for day dreaming.
The drive through Cade's Cove was often like a day dream. We always compare hunting the trails for wildflowers to looking on the beach for certain shells or working a jigsaw puzzle. Your eye begins to pick out the needed piece as you enter day 2 and day 3.
So as you listen to the music, see our photos below!
You round the corner on a trail and wonder "Could that be a flower up there?"
And sure enough, the Long Spurred Violet is nesting in the tree!
Then the competition (of sorts) was on to see who could get the best shot of it!
Cades Cove is a special delight when you get to see a bear, or a mom with triplet cubs!!
You, and all the other tourists!
