Touring Cades Cove on Thursday was a treat. The sky changed every few minutes, the rain eased most of the time, the temperature hit 64 degrees, and the sun peaked out occasionally. At this point on the loop road, the sky to the east looked foreboding and to the south a weak sun peaked through thin clouds lighting the winter colors of the broom grass and winter weeds. Then a cloud slid over the mountain, dipped down the side and the bottom of the cloud, white and soft, kissed the mountain and then faded away. Wonderful moment.
