That looks sooooo....... inviting, feel like take my shoes off and putting in my stinky feet in the fresh water. Great shot. LOL

Now that makes me want to visit. What a beautiful photo.

Hi Rich....looks like a perfect place to take your camera and go for a long hike....back in a few hours world!

When I was a kid I would have been trying to balance on one of those stones! LOL I just love these kinds of scenes.

Reminds me of how ready I am for springs and to spend time in the local mountains. Great picture.

Looks inviting, but a little chilly--- Lori

Rich, I'd want to go in too, if Roy's stinky feet weren't in there! LOL

Now here the water would be VERY cold!

Roy - Hahaha! In the summertime, there are people of all ages playing the the springs and creeks that seem to be around every bend in the Smokies.

Joan - There are innumerable scenes similar to this all over this beautiful National Park. Here is a link to my photo blog, Rich's Pics, with several more photos!Hope you like them.

Gail - It really is a beautiful area. Actually saw 3 black bear cubs not 100 yards away at one point. There were rangers around to make sure nobody interfered with the cubs and keeping a lookout for Mama Bear. This is the 2nd time I have seen bear cubs in the park.

Carol - Me too! Now I wonder if I'll fall on my butt!

Mark - It was interesting to see the three different levels, see links in response to Joan above, and the differences.

Lori - Melting snows definitely make it cold.

Debi -

Joan - It would definitely be cold! Melting snows and all...I am keeping my toes out!
