this was shot awhile back, about a year ago, walking along in cades cove on a beautiful foggy morning, i saw this spiderweb on a fence, it reminded me of the indian’s dreamcatcher..hence the title

Remains of autumn’s splendor with a babbling mountain stream in the background. This has been digitally rendered to resemble a watercolor

A digitaly manipulated photo to appear as a painting.The mountain stream helps substain life both below and above the surface.A stream’s ecosystem includes the area immediately around the stream—the damp banks and vegetation on both sides, the trees that hang over it, the air above it. And it includes the stream’s entire watershed as well.We should do what we can to help preserve these beautiful wonders of nature before much of its flora and fauna are gone.

thanks to a friend of mine, i realized i havent added one of my all time favorite shots i have shot to date / i shot this in oct of 2006 after a serious but freaky wind storm, packing winds up to 106mph in the great smoky mountains / we were very lucky to have any colors around after that wind storm / this was shot using a kodak easyshare 6490, way before my guardian angel of photography marianne venegoni (photoeyes) put that canon XT into my hands, / that kodak and i, had to come to an agreement before it ended up learning how to swim or fly, or smashed up against a wall!! / i finally got that camera off the auto settings and learnt the manual settings, i played around with it, experimented and experimented, learning what i could and couldnt do with it (it sucks for shooting wildlife!) but..on this particular day, guess it and i..just..got along / i still look at this shot after i printed it, and go..wow..damn I took that !! lol / hope everyone enjoys, if anyone is interested in a something larger then a card..please contact me its completely humbling when you have someone contact you and tell you , your work inspired them to be creative. this is the very first time in my life ive had someone approach me asking if they could give me their writing. / id like to thank loramae for this beautiful poem. Rushing Past The Colors… Laid on the floor of the world at our feet, / The beauties all of Heaven can afford… / Cast from the hand of the Great Almighty, / Creator of all things loved and adored… / Colors and hues unmistakable in beauty, / Gently caressing the days of our life… / Teasing and pleasing scents of perfection, / Waft through the air in most perfect delight… / Time in minutes and seconds build days… / such blessings live before the naked eye. / But for a moment stop and be so sure… / Your not rushing past the colors of life. I tried to copyright this poem to Loramae / the copyright sign wouldnt work! / If anyone is interested in a card with this sentiment on it, please let me know, I have a friend who is a master with stuff like this and i can ask her to create the template for me. / Loramae..thank you from the bottom of my heart, and i am so glad this work inspired that beautiful writing.

Help Me Feel The Coolness On Your Skin / As You Set Beside Me Close Your Eyes And Be Lost in Thought / As You Listen To My Murmurs Be Chilled To The Bone / As You Dip In My Pool After A Long Days Hike I Don’t Require You To Help Me / I Will Still Keep Comforting You I Need Help Though, For Many Like Me / Are No Longer Pure Your Kind Has Polluted The Forest / And Others Like Me / / Some Waters No Longer Have The Purity / To Sustain Life Therein Though You Be Only One Small Voice / You Can Help Me For I Too Start Out Small And Narrow / Way Up High On The Mountain But As I Go Down The Mountain / I Gain Size And Flow I Keep Going Around And Over / All The Obstacles In My Way I Go Till I Reach the River / Where I Become Large And Wide The Rivers Keep Joining Together / Larger And Larger Till They Reach The Sea From The Sea I Can Then Circle / The Whole Earth If You Spread My Plea / It Too Will Grow Around The Earth It May Not Be Much At First / Like The Spring I Come From But Your Voice Will Be Heard Far And Wide / If Only You Will Speak Speak And Help Me Stay Pure / For All Life Depends On Me Image and Wording / ©2008 Gary L. Suddath Due to a successful brook trout restoration program, for the first time in 30 years, anglers are now able to fish for brook trout in park streams of the Smoky Mountains. These streams were once ruined by logging. The brook trout was also rooted out my non native rainbow and brown trout. Our waters are precious for our life and all of natures, help keep them clean. This image was taken on the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail, Great Smoky Mountain N.P.

cades cove in the great smoky mountains is notorious for the black bears. i am happy to say, this year has been an excellent year for viewing them. they have had food, and the park hasnt moved them out like they were caught doing last year. / yesterday morning shooting in the cove, i am upon a mama bear and her two cubs feeding in a cherry tree / this mama was after a particular branch, and she went up and down for it, finally chewing it off. / best if viewed larger

mama bear was crossing road, two bicyclers had passed earlier, so i thought a pretty cool shot of her crossing w/ them in background

This shot was taken last year. We had a fire on Cove mountain, which is on the boundaries of the Great Smoky Mountains. The fire had burnt for a good 5days, winds were up to 50mph. On this particular night, as they were finally getting the fire contained, and we were having a lunar eclipse. / I took off over to that area , in hopes the eclipse would be over the fires, to my luck it was. / I stood in a field down below, winds high, pitch black, and Cold! getting shots of this historical event / I sent this shot to our local newspaper, they were going to run a story on it, and me. Of course I was so excited about this, told everyone!! Well it turned out the shot was too dark for print for a newspaper. I tried to get them to use some other shots I had done, but some unfortunately were alittle too blurry, and this was the shot they wanted to run on the paper. / To date it was one of the most crushing experiences of my life with my photography. I bashed myself for a long time for not “shooting it right” , racking my brain trying to figure out, what exactly i did wrong. Did I use the right SS, or should have used Apt mode..what? After checking my stats on the shot, I did shoot it correctly, it still didnt help soothe that deep wound within me. I mean I was probably the only photographer who captured history being made…twice…the lunar eclipse and the fire on the mountains. This shot would have been my big break for being noticed. The “lights” you see on this shot, are hot spots where the fires are. The fire had started on one mountain, due to some guy who burnt his trash, his fire got alittle out of control so the FD had to be called in. They didnt get all of it out, the fire was in the underbrush, a couple of days later we had winds clocked at 50mph come thru, this got the fire started up again and caused it to jump over to another mountain. On the top of that mountain some rental cabins burnt (which I was a ok with..they dont belong up there!) No one was hurt in this fire thank god, but I was hoping that this fire so close to my mountains was a sign..hey you are getting to close and stop the building. / What they have done a year later, was rebuild the cabins and shaved off more trees to protect them…really pisses me off everytime I drive by and see it.

this is Meigs Falls located in the Great Smoky Mountains. It’s a shame the last time I was able to capture this waterfall this full, was in October of 2006, in 2007 we never got enough rain to create such a full waterfall. Usually it does have water running off of it but it’s to the left of the fall. We finally got some GOOD rain last night!! A good long soaking rain!! The mountains looked alive today, was great!

one of the many sites you will see coming thru the great smoky mountains. trout fishing. couldnt have asked for better timing, having a fisherman set in the right gear, the water, and lighting. / i shot this in black and white, it has not been converted , and yes i do have color, that will be uploaded later, but i wanted something different ;), and this was shot with my new 17-85mm lens :) i love it already :):)

thanks to a tree going across a river in the great smoky mountains these two small falls were created / the river itself isnt really that wide / and the moss on the river rocks, just breathtaking as the sun shone down on a select few

I have been here and seen the coming of man to my rivers. In my shadows have walked wildlife that no longer walk here. From my lofty peaks you can see for many miles. Once I stood higher than the far western mountains. I may have shifted and changed but I remain. My rivers are cold and my forest cool. From my bowels man has both feed himself and built his shelters. He has raped my slopes for my wood. Fought wars within me. I still survive. Mist still shroud my valleys. Flowers still shine their beauty for all to see. Come walk my paths an fish my streams. Stand on my peaks and walk my valleys. Loose yourself within yourself as your cares fade away when your with me. I am the Great Smoky Mountains, the Great Iron Mountains, Far Blue Mountains, the Sha-cona-ga. Most just call me the Smokies, and I remain. And a quote from John Muir “The mountains, are fountains, not only of rivers and fertile soil, but of men

Many trials I overcame / There I remained just the same / Through drought, wind, rain, and hail / I hung there and did not fail The suns face, less I did see / As I hung there on the tree / My beauty then I did show / But struggled not to let go A strong north wind came that day / Force so great I could not stay / On a rock I hang on still / Though the air is starting to chill I hang on for you to see / This is what matters to me / If to you, joy I did bring / It will cause my heart to sing Image made on Porters Creek,Greenbrier section of the Great Smoky Mountain NP ©2008 Gary L.

Fall isn’t to be out done by Spring with all the new beginnings and shades of green. For a brief time it bursts into a splendor of warm color just before the dead of Winter.

Morning has broken, like the first morning / Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird / Praise for the singing, praise for the morning / Praise for the springing fresh from the word Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven / Like the first dewfall, on the first grass / Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden / Sprung in completeness where his feet pass Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning / Born of the one light, Eden saw play / Praise with elation, praise every morning / God’s recreation of the new day lyrics by Eleanor Farjeon

trout fishing is a huge thing to do in the great smoky mountains. this fly fisherman had on the perfect gear of what one would think of when thinking of fly fishing. the rain started coming down lightly, and i did get a few shots of him fishing in the rain in BW also :)

last sunday was in cades cove in the great smoky mountains. came upon a bear jam (everyone stops in middle of road and gets out of car to check out bear!) / this Huge mama was with one of her cubs, along side the road / she found this stump, and didnt really care we all were fairly close, she was after the termites. / unfortunately for her, she has been tagged twice, due to humans causing her to react. if she goes after another and the park finds out…they will kill her. / its time the humans are held accountable for their actions towards these animals, after all we are in Their Home, not our’s. as much as i hated to do it, i did have to lighten this up some due to some dense woods and a cloudy day, im still sick about it! lol
