Fall Scenery in Great Smoky Mountain National Park
Autumn in Great Smoky Mountain National Park
Crops have been harvested,
Migrating birds have moved to South,
Cold-blooded animals have disappeared to be gone dormant.
Now it's time for mother nature to decorate landscaping colorfully.
For me it's time to get away from the mundane life
To encounter a new venture.
On a fine day of October,
As zephyr brows, touching gently people's face,
I have visited Great Smoky Mountain National Park
Where change
of color is so vivid
That everybody can feel grateful nature.
Though many times I have visited this place,
This
is first time to witness fascinating fall scenery.
In the middle of Appalachian Mountain Range,
All peaks,
valleys, meadows, ravines, . . .
are decorated with picturesque colors.
From one valley to another,
From
a peak to the other
Fall colors fascinate spectators
While putting in midst of exaltation
This is the
place
Where Cherokee Indians settled enjoying nature,
Hunting deer, rabbit, quail, wild turkey, . . .
While
they were planting maize.
Now I am glancing wonderful landscape
Along peaceful mountain ranges, valleys, meadows
Where plethora of nature exist.
