Early Fall on the Cumberland Plateu

Here are a few beauties from the Fiery Gizzard trail, near Foster Falls in Grundy County Tennessee.

 I think this is Callicarpa americana, the native Beautyberry.

 Some pretty colors and mushroom.

 Field flowers above the falls.

More plants that are sort of not-plants.

 The Fiery Gizzard trail, along the southeastern end, is littered with the huge paper like leaves of the native deciduous Magnolia. There are many mushrooms emerging and rhododendrons covering the hillsides. Asters are blooming as well. Fall yields up an abundance of beauty in Tennessee woodlands.
