Eye Candy in Gatlinburg Tennessee
Nothing like some nice yummy eye candy.
Actually, I couldn't think of a thing to photograph, until I headed south of the border only a few days ago on New Year's Eve.
I crossed the Kentucky border into the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
I needed a break from blogging and real estate.
I thought I might...what is the word? RELAX
As I was driving in through the winding roads along the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, I saw plenty of eye candy that I just couldn't resist. I'm sure motorists thought I was holding up traffic as I jumped out to take random shots that I liked.
Hey, that's what tourists do!
I call this "Beehive Hill"
Old Mill on a creek.
The "Pirate" that got left behind after the putt-putt golf course went bust.
Old Lodge on a creek.
Gatlinburg Castle in the sky.
Barn located on Middle Prong of The Little Pigeon River.
Emert's Cove Covered Bridge
Gatlinburg Tennessee Barn
Scary Trees at Summit View
Last...but not least...the Gatlinburg raptor.
Once thought to be extinct, but very much alive and thriving on
unsuspecting tourists in the mysterious Smokey Mountains of Tennessee.
You better keep an eye out for them
as they like to lurk around the outlet malls.

Gatlinburg is so beautiful, Lizette. Thanks for the reminder of what a great place it is to visit with your eye candy :)
Wow... I love this. I feel as if I went on a mini vacation with you. Very nicely done. ;-)
Hi Lizette - what great pictures! I was in Gatlinburg once, years ago, but I don't remember it looking like that. This is much more peaceful looking than what I remember.

Sharon - Glad you could stop in for my eye candy.
Carolyn - Thanks! It really surprised me how beautiful it was in the winter.
Ann - It always felt that way to me too until I looked around off the beaten path.
Dang, I forgot all about your trip... but I guess you would have emailed me if you wanted company!! Loved the photos.My new horse site is up (48 hours) so I'll be in KY soon anyway (horsealicious.com) Haven't posted yet; it's up for cosmetic work/corrections at the moment.
You sure that's a pirate? It looks like Paul Bunyon waving the top part of a banjo to me.
What a beautiful place! I'm still working on getting one for myself.
Monica Hess www.monicahess.com I'll FENG SHUI THIS in the spring.
Lizzette,
I just love these two area of the country, Gatlinburg, TN and the Great Smoky Mountains. I would not mind retiring in that area.
Thanks for the eye candy ma'am.
Oh my gosh, what great photos. Over the past few years I have had the opportunity to visit TN (go Vols! go Titans!) for various different horseshows. The first time I went back there I fell in love with that part of the country. I would love to move back there someday. The people are nice, the pace of life appeals to me and I just really love the countryside. Thank you so much for the memories your photos brought back. Happy New Year!
Lizette, Amazing photo tour of Gaitlingburg back roads. You did a fantastic job! This one will be hard to beat!
I have to agree, of course, with everyone's great comments. It's the best place in the world to live, at least to me! The photos turned out fabulously!
Lizette ~ Great shots! I love the mill picture!
Hi Lizette,
Great pictures!! Thanks for sharing.
Great post, Lizette, thanks for sharing these wonderful photos of your trip... Glad you were able to get away and relax.
I worried about you for a couple of days when you weren't responding on your blogs. Then I remembered what you said you planned to do.
Glad to see you had a great time! (and shared it with us!)

Lizette, very picturesque! You photographed some very unique images! Happy new year!
Beehive is right~! and how different the energy feels around the wee cabin...Thanks for your photos that so well express how life in the mountains stays the same AND changes...
Lizette,
I'm just getting to know everyone, and see what all they've been up to. I just discovered your beautiful pictures.
I was looking at some of Erby's comments, and the "Eye Candy in Gatlinburg ..." title caught my eye.
Thanks for the example of really effective titles. I'm working on that.
