A shot of Hyatt Lane during the early phase of Spring 2014.
My first time really being about to get out and take photos this year. Although I have gone out previously, my mobility at the time included only a few steps away from the car. This time however, I was able to move a bit better this time and was more comfortable than before. I enjoyed being able to get out and capture the beauty that is Cades Cove.
There are so many iconic shots that could be used to illustrate the beauty in Cades Cove, and this is just one, Hyatt Lane.
