Photo essay • February 2016

The petulant weather of late Winter brings with it the promise of gentler days ahead. Here, our readers share some of their fondest memories from warmer days.

Each issue of Smoky Mountain Living features photographs taken by our readers. Send us your best photos showing what makes Spring in Southern Appalachia special—from the flourish of new foliage to a long-anticipated day outdoors or even a new beginning of a more personal nature.

Email photos to editor@smliv.com; include information on where the photo was taken and by whom. Reader-submitted photos are unpaid but may be rewarded with publication in our nationally distributed magazine.
