We have had plenty rain and clouds around the Smokies this month but there have still been some beautiful views,   English Mountain as viewed from Mt. LeConte is one of my favorite views,  The clouds settled to offer a fantastic view of the mountain.  When I am up in the mountains surrounded by the clouds and fog I have a sense of solitude and self.  When the clouds break and I get a view off through the vast mountains in the Smokies I remember how big it all is.  I remember what a small but important part of the grand whole I am.
