Townsend Tennessee Trip

We stayed at a cabin near Townsend Tennessee and went to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park each day. In Cades Cove we saw a mother bear and her 2 babies up high in a tree.
The weather was mostly overcast and rainy. We did get some sun a couple of times but it didn’t last long. The Diana were all along Little River Road, right next to the river, that leads to Cades Cove. The photos were taken with overcast conditions in a moderate to light rain, yet there they were on the Joe-Pye Weed nectaring just the same.
