Cataloochee Elk

We postponed our trip to Knoxville because of the weather, but late in the afternoon, the sky cleared and we decided to make a quick trip to Cataloochee. What a bonus! These two young elk were sparring alongside the road as we left...first time we'd seen elk at Cataloochee. We were the only visitors today, but it was certainly well worth the trip!

Elite Hair & Nail Salon

These lovely ladies are the ones you'll meet when you visit Elite Hair & Nail Salon. We had a great time photographing them and they do wonderful work!

Sunset on the Mountain

Just as we returned this evening, there was this incredible sunset! It was about 20 degrees, but the stars came out later and we had a fantastic lightshow from the hot tub!

Winter Beauty

We walked around Lake Junaluska this afternoon...quite cool, but we enjoyed our brisk walk! The lake is beautiful, even in winter.

Frozen Water Everywhere!

We arrived to find that our water pump had quit operating, so spent the first two days of our visit getting water! There was snow on the deck when we arrived and the pond was completely frozen!
