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! Updated on 06/09/09 / Im very honored to have another talented artist here be inspired by this image to write This Thank you very much Levi Cold mountain stream / Never ceasing it’s journey / Flowing ever on

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.

This view from Laurel Falls trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park may be familiar to many of those who have hiked the 2.6 miles (total) to and from the falls. As I recall, it offered the best glimpse of the landscape through the foliage along the trail. I was using my digital camera for the first time on this trip, and I surprised myself with how well this image turned out. It was one of those “being in the right place at the right time” type of shots. I took a few photographs of the falls, and many photographs throughout the park, but none compared to this colorful scene.

Mingus grist mill, Great Smoky Mountains National Park. One of the most photographed structures in the park, this historic grist mill combines my interest in photography and my interest in U.S. history. I chose to sepia tone the image to create a more vintage feel as though it was taken the year it was constructed (1886) despite the long depth of field. Image currently featured in AMERICA’s National Parks and WILDLIFE Habitat group.

Morning sun filters through the trees at John Olivers Cabin with a few dogwoods in the background…The cabin is almost completly surrounded by split-rail fence also…...The Oliver’s bought land in the Cove in 1826 and this cabin site remained in the family until the Park was established. The house is typical of many found on the eastern frontier in the mid-1850s, and reflects the skills and techniques brought into the mountains by descendants of British and European immigrants. This cabin is located on the Cades Cove Loop Road, in the Great Smoky Mountain N.P.

I was surprised to see any bears at all, given how late we got going that morning, arriving at Cades Cove (Great Smoky Mountains National Park) just before noon, but we saw a few, at 3 different locations around the loop. This one was the closest and clearest. I did crop a bit from my 200mm, I wasn’t really that close! The bear was quite unconcerned, but I remained aware of our relative locations at all times. One of the really nice things about Cades Cove was I saw Park Rangers at every single sighting, keeping people at a reasonable distance and telling them when to move.

Sepia Toned of a previous…Morning sun filters through the trees at John Olivers Cabin with a few dogwoods in the background…..The Oliver’s bought land in the Cove in 1826 and this cabin site remained in the family until the Park was established. The house is typical of many found on the eastern frontier in the mid-1850s, and reflects the skills and techniques brought into the mountains by descendants of British and European immigrants…..Split-rail fences require much more timber than other types of fences, and so are not common in areas where wood is scarce or expensive. However, they are very simple in their construction, and can be assembled with few tools even on hard or rocky ground. They also can be built without using any nails or other hardware; such hardware was often scarce in frontier locations.These fences are sometimes refered to as Worm Fence due to the back and forth placements…This cabin is located on the Cades Cove Loop Road, in the Great Smoky Mountain N.P.

Initially, early settlers utilized iron deposits found in bogs along North Carolina’s coast. As exploration expanded, large deposits of iron ore were discovered in the mountains several hundred miles to the west. In fact, by the early 1800s, the range we now refer to as the Great Smoky Mountains was known throughout the growing United States as the Great Iron Mountains. The combination of abundant iron ore and vast tracts of timber in close proximity to one another gave our region a natural ability to produce a large variety of iron products

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

Taken from the parking lot at Clingmans Dome,GSMNP. The mountain was named for Brigadier General Thomas Lanier Clingman, by Arnold Guyot a geographer. Clingman in the 1850’s was the first to accurately measure the height of the mountain. The mountain was called Kuwa’hi (the mulberry place) by the Cherokee. This is where the legendary great bear chief and doctor dwelled.In whose magic bath the wounded bears are restored to health…Settlers first called it Smoky Dome then later was called Mount Buckley before Guyot named it offically

Early mourning is so calming and peaceful. The fog that has shrouded the landscape is slowly lifting. Nature seems to be in slow motion and hush. Sit and enjoy what God has gave you. Let nature enfold completely, your whole being, completely covering you with its serenity……..Cades Cove GSMNP

The Little River Road is about 18 miles long. It runs between the Sugarland Visitors Center at the Gatlinburg entrance to the Smoky Mountains and the Wye in Townsend. Once you pass the road going to Elkmont Campground it snakes through the gorge along the sides of Little River. Its one of the more popular drives in the Smokies. Numerous pull offs offer unending possibilities to get out and explore the river. Fall colors can be spectacular. Along the route there is a picnic area, waterfalls, and hiking trails. The road may not be for the timid, not use to mountain roads. In some places you are on the edge of the river on one side and against a rock bluff on the other. It seems narrower than it looks and has room for motor homes to meet, so drive slow and enjoy. It is one of two ways to get to Cades Cove. From it you can also enjoy fly fishing, kayaking or just playing in the water. Tubers often dot the river on the Wye end in summer.

Shot this a few weeks ago in the cove. / Brutus and I were heading out and happened to see mama and her two cubs right along the road in the woods. One cub was trying to get the other to play as mama watched over them. / Was tough having to shoot between two trees and then have the debree in front of me, so it was manual focus to the rescue!! / They stuck around for alittle while until the tourons started stopping and gathering around, then mama moved them on out of the area. / If only people would realize they need to turn Off their cars, and BE QUIET!!! they could sit for a lot longer time to enjoy the true meaning of nature spending time around these beautiful creatures / Best if viewed larger Shot this in Shutterspeed mode / SS at 1/200 / ISO at 800 / F-stop at F 5.6 / Ev at +0.7 / Focal length at 300mm

Mama bear and her cubs had been run up a tree by a very aggressive male. I wish I had got a shot of him but was movin to quick for the low light in the woods. The bear seemed more abundant in the Cove this year. Bears are wild animals and should be treated with respect. The large male wasn’t too tolerable of anything, and could have attacked at any moment. You may see a dozen bears in the Cove that pay you no mind, but it just takes one like the aggressive male to kill you. The day I made this I had seen 11 different bear….Black Bear, ursus americanus… ….Shot was taken in Cades Cove area of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park

Great Smoky Mountains National Park has water falls in many places. When its hot, people head for the hills of the Smokies. / Cool breezes and water. Swimming, fishing, hiking, and driving trails near by. Shop till you drop in Gatlinburg, and walk your dog if he is well behaved. All kinds of things to do and see, good old Tennessee. Piegon Forge is nearby, I know you like to eat, well I couldn’t name them all. Make fun at the way people talk, come on down yeu all. Maybe you haven’t been here yet, watch out for those curvey roads. One of the most visited parks in the good old USA. GSMNP has a tremendous diversity of plant life. Many people document it or just enjoy it. Rhododendron in bloom around the falls, this gorgous shrub is easily seen because it grows well on exposed ridges at 3,000 to 6,000 feet elevation. They grow 8-12 ft. high.and one of the first I added to my garden, along with the natural ones in the woods. They bloom in June and July in the Park, and about a months difference here later. / Oil on canvas JeffeeArt4u
