Vivid Fall Foliage made at the Metcalf Bottoms picnic area,GSMNP
Yearling black baer cub seperated from its mama by tourist.I got the tourist parted an him back on his way to mama. I had a portable police scanner tuned to the park system and bluffed everyone into thinking I was with the park. My shot was made from the edge of the lane I created for him to walk to the other side of the road.What some tourist don’t realize Mama might come lookin for him which was to there backs. Just because some bears in parks seem aproachable doesn’t mean they want attack unexpectedly.

Stunning fall color in the hills of Tennessee
last april (2007), while hanging out with gary suddath, sherri and ronnie hamilton, shooting at tremont, i noticed this small group of flowers growing out of this tree stump , just thought it was unique how the tree trunk ended up being a flowerbox for these small wildflowers
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
Cade’s Cove, Great Smokey Mountain National Park, TN. Taken form the bottom of the valley before sunset. A must see if visiting Tennessee, a one-way loop skirts the bottom of the Great Smokey Mountains into the valley below. An abundance of wildlife meshes with history in this spectacular place. usphoto

A young bear with mom looking at all the tourist piled up in the middle of Laurel Creek Road…. one of the biggest problems in the park and especially Cades Cove is people stopping in the middle of the road to take pictures. Due to low light and being hand held I had to use an ISO of 800 to get this shot…imagine the results from the many cell phone shots that were in use also….Black Bear, ursus americanus…Mama’s ear tags were digitally removed if anyone wants the shot with them in, please let me know….Shot was taken in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park…noise may be visible on larger prints……Black bears in the park are wild animals, caution should be use in approaching them…The bear in Cades Cove are a little more tolerable to people than these would be. Those in the cove see 1000’s of people daily. People thinking that because they got close to one in the cove, they could anywhere in the park. Mama bear did a false charge to some that were trying to approach them a few minutes after this shot….Those in the cove and elsewhere can kill you. A young child was mauled in the park this year as he bent over to play in the water..To the bear he probably looked like a small deer…

Shooting in Cades Cove with Mike back in Feb of 2009 / I had been jealous of Snowhog’s snow she had been getting all year ( wouldnt surprize me if she is Still getting snow! grrrr) while it was passing my area, and we might get alittle to tease us. But while Mike and I were out shooting in the cove, grabbing all we could of the snow while it was here. I had promised Snowhog a snowman IF I ever got the chance to make one. So while Mike is shooting, I start grabbing some snow together, finding little pebbles that would Stay to create the face, and a few twigs that were sturdy enough to create the arms (had to keep it authentic to the area ya know). Hands frozen since the type of snow we had, stuck to my gloves. At one time I had more snow on my gloves then I did for the snowman. So here ya go snowhog, your snowman from the Great Smoky Mountains (literally) :)
Acrylic on Canvas. This is another painting to be exhibited at my next exhibition with Midori and Petra “Cosmopolitan, Baileys or Midori?” I downloaded the invite onto the Bubblesite – Sydneys Guide to Exhibition. Everyone is welcome to come to the opening should be really fun. This was partly inspired by the pinup girls done by Gil Elvgren in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s and a photo by Masayuki Yoshinaga from the fantastic Gothic and Lolita book published by Phaidon.
The rivers in the Tennessee Smokey Mountains are just beautiful. There is always a feeling of stoicism and tranquility. Sitting there by the edge of this cool pool, I wanted nothing more than I had at that exact moment. The breeze was perfect, the sun just enough to take the chill from the air. God belsses us in ways that we overlook to often. Thank you for viewing my work!!! If you like what you see here, have a peek at the rest of my work.

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

Ely’s Mill-Great Smoky Mountains National Park-Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail Established in 1925, Ely’s Mill is family owned and operated. Built by Andrew Jefferson Ely, Ely’s Mill now offers a unique craft and antique shop. A. J. Ely, known as “Old Man Ely,” was a Yale law school graduate, a practicing Tennessee lawyer and a printer. Disenchanted with city life after the death of his wife, he bought a 30 acre tract in an effort to live a healthy life. He preached against smoking and strong drink - coffee, tea, alcohol - along with the evils of various foods, including milk, salt, white bread, and “store bought” food. He advocated eating fresh vegetables, honey, bananas, buttermilk and lots of spring water. For years, the old Lines Bakery made a special bread from his flour. There was no subject he felt lukewarm about; politics, taxes, marriage, youth, religion, and other topics. It’s been told that if he liked you he’d talk with your for hours, but if he didn’t approve of you, he’d take the whole afternoon off just to tell you so. Ely hired local craftsmen to build the mill and showroom to display their ware. Initially called The Water Wheel Craft Shop, the mill featured weaving and local crafts and also made solid wood furniture and sold antiques. The water wheel powered the machinery in the Furniture Shop – belt sanders – lathes, planers – by a system of pulleys and belts. The wheel itself is almost 30 feet in diameter and 8 feet wide. It was supplied with water from a race which came over the top of the buildings and begin 800 feet upstream. As the place grew, more buildings were added: barns for livestock, sheds and chicken houses. A caretaker family lived here also to help tend the garden, keep bees and manage the animals and grounds. A hammer mill was built to crush and mix feeds. A blacksmith shop was added to repair tools and make parts. When the building was completed in the 1940’s Ely’s Mill had grown to almost twenty buildings.

Digital finger painting (with a mouse), completed through the wee small hours. I’m having trouble sleeping, too many images in my head. Even when I’m asleep, I’m drawing in my dreams. I’m having so much fun experimenting with digital, it’s a new medium for me and I just love it. FEATURED in ‘Creative Cards’ August, 2009 / FEATURED in ‘Lifeline’ August, 2009 /
