As best as I can tell, this is Virginia Spiderwort.
We were on our way to Virginia in May 2009 and were camping two nights in west Tennessee. We had taken a drive to see some of the state away from our normal route, Interstate 40. During a break in the rain, we took a hike through the woods at Montgomery Bell State Park.

Another blog that I’m trying to post to on a regular basis is Haw Creek Out ‘n About. I’m currently only posting photographs from our travels there.
The images posted here are photos that were posted on Haw Creek Out ‘n About over the last month.
All of my photos that I publish here and on Haw Creek Out ‘n About are from my online photo galleries. They are randomly selected and only used one time. Photos published on Haw Creek Out ‘n About will not be published on Exit78, except for those use for announcements of new galleries, and vice verse. Some of the photos may have been been posted previously, before I had established the galleries.
While I would like to publish other material in addition to the photos, I have so many photos that I really want to focus on getting the photo galleries built.
I suppose that I could just post all of the photos on Flickr or some other service. However, the photos are intended to be integral part of my Haw Creek web site, — which will eventually include information to go with the photos, so I want the photo galleries on Haw Creek.
I hope to be adding more photo galleries to Haw Creek soon. When they are up, I’ll announce them on each of my blogs.

I’ve just completed the first photo gallery from our May trip. Images in it are from Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I will likely post some of those photos here, on occasion, along with images from other photo galleries of our travel.
A “drive-through” barn in the Cable’s Mill area of Cades Cove
Corn Crib – Corn was dried on the stalk and then stored here still on the cob. Corn was the major food source for both humans and livestock.
John P. Cable grist and saw mill
An overshot water wheel mill used to grind corn into corn meal and wheat into flour. The water wheel could also be used to power saw mills as well. After the saw mills, homes were almost exclusively of frame construction. As well, most owners of log homes bought lumber for siding to cover the logs of their “old-fashioned” homes.
