Colorful Hunger

At the bottom of Lookout Mtn we came across this lovely scene right beside the roadway. Some beautiful color that added to the atmosphere of the local lake front cabin rental. This turned out to be one of the 4 colorful places we found that day, as I said yesterday, not much in the way of fall foliage.

This being Rachel & my second trip to Rising Fawn in only 2 weeks, we pretty played tour guide to Ricki, who had never even heard of such a place as Rising Fawn. We took her to the cemetery that I posted about a few weeks ago. The scene wasn't quite as pretty as it was the weeks before, but the view of the surrounding mountains still made the stop worth wild.

The dogs that once called the place home were missing, all but one that was. The black dog we had saw running with his pack of white toned siblings had been too shy to come out to say hello to us the first time we had stopped there. Whom ever took the 3 white dogs apparently had no finer luck with getting the black dog to come out of hiding so it was left there all alone with no food or water. The little food we had brought with us for lunch, which was a shrimp and pasta salad, seemed to do the trick. Either the dog has the heart of a seaman or was so hungry it would've eaten anything. We tried out best with no luck of getting close enough to the dog to grab it and bring it to the safety of a real home. We left it all the water we had in the car along with the pasta and wished it the best. It really is sad that we couldn't do more for her. Rising Fawn is an hour drive from the house, way to far to travel everyday to feed it so I hope a local living near by will wonder up on the dog and try to save her.
