Shimmer and fog, music and art

- My favorite river view - the Hiwassee River in the Nantahala Forest.  (My photos always upload with the location Nantahala Forest - I love that.)  It was my last visit there until late spring 2017.  I was sitting on the back porch reading on Saturday afternoon and was loving how shimmery the river looked.

- Sunday morning - 9:30am (EDT) - fog over a farmer's fields. Click to enlarge to see the lovely light.  I was on a back road and paused briefly to snap this photo - it was too lovely not to capture.

- I was on my way to the John C. Campbell Folk School Fall Festival, where there is much pottery, artwork, basketry, jewelry, etc. for sale, as well as lots of music performances. I loved the woman on the right, playing so energetically with her family's band. 

- And I amused myself by photographing this section of cars.  If I panned to the right, you would see thousands more.  Since I got there early, I was able to park fairly close. At first I couldn't see my car, but remembered it was parked in front of a yellow one.  Once I spotted the yellow one, the long-time dent in the right fender of my car singled it out and off I went back to the river.

October is my favorite month, and right on schedule, the air turned a wee bit crisp.  This little weekend trip got the month started out just right.

The light in that second photo is glorious.
And all the weekend looks excellent. Which is lovely.

I know I saw that first photo before because that location reminds me of the old fishing spot Ron and I visited often. Such sweet memories. Wonderful pictures you have shared of your sweet memories.
