This series of photographs was taken in 2004. I happened to be down by the lake with an old friend when one of my neighbor’s dogs, Buddy, came dashing our way and headed straight for the water. There’s something nice about seeing dogs happy and carefree. Lelia Katherine Thomas / leliathomas@gmail.com OR Twitter @leliathomas / www.leliathomas.com —-—- Want a free, high quality copy of this?

The Tipton-Oliver Place – Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountain National Park USA “The Tipton Place” has been featured by the group “Smoky Mountain Masterpieces” 7/08. This grand old cabin belonged to Johnathan Wade Hampton Tipton. Colonel “Hamp” had a carpenter build this home after the Cival War. Hamp was a veteran of the revolutionary war. The land came from Tennessee Land Grants in 1821 aquired by his grandfather, William Tipton, better known as “Fighting Billy” for his heroism in the Revolutionary War. President Andrew Jackson was his friend and said that if he had a company of Tiptons, he could “lick the whole British Army”. Although Hamp never lived in the house, his two daughters did. Miss Lucy and Miss Lizzie were schoolmarms in the cove in the late 1870’s. The homestead eventually included a smokehouse, a woodshed, corn crib, blacksmith shop, cantilever barn, and an apiary for bees. William Tipton owned a great deal of the cove by 1836. He deeded much of the land to friends and family, including John Oliver and Peter Cable. The three of them established the Primitive Baptist Church. The home went on to be owned by Jim McCauley in 1879, and then by John Oliver’s grandson William Howell Oliver in 1887. William served as an ordained minister of the Primitive Baptist Church from 1882 until the time of his death in 1940. His family lived in the home until the land was aquired for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Other works in the Cade’s Cove Collection: Companion Piece
John P. Cable Mill – Great Smoky Mountain National Park, USA In Cades Cove there were few sources of power which the frontiersman knew how to harness. One of those power sources was the water wheel such as drove the early grist mills. Cable Mill is one of those. The Smoky Mountains Natural History Association keeps Cable Mill running in Cades Cove to teach the Smoky Mountain visitor a little about life in the 1800’s. The mill is operated April-October. A handful of enterprising residents in Cades Cove built water driven mills to grind grain. Their hope was that other Cades Cove families would prefer paying them to grind the grain rather than to struggle with the small inefficient tub mills at home. The tub mills were only capable of processing a bushel of corn each day. The entrepreneurs were correct and ran fine business in Cades Cove as a result. Cornmeal was the only grain that could be ground in the tub mills and so the waterwheel driven mills that could grind wheat into flour was a welcome addition to the cove. Now biscuits could be eaten some of the time instead of cornbread. Payment for grinding grain did not always mean money exchanged hands in Cades Cove. Sometimes money was paid but other times the miller was paid a portion of the resulting flour or meal. Besides John Cable, his son and also Frederick Shields operated mills. Cable and Shields took double advantage of their waterwheel by using it to power saw mills as well. Cable was the only person in Cades Cove to use the overshot water wheel. Like most business men in the Cove, Cable was also a farmer. He could be summoned from the fields by a large bell he had on the property for that purpose.

instead of doing the usual smoky mountain autumn shot, figured it’s time to show off what millions that pass thru this area dont get to see as they head into the park. / this is along the backroads of my home town of townsend tn. / i am so glad this area hasnt been ruined as the gatlinburg, pigeon forge and seiverville side with many rental cabins, hotels, so many resturants you’re no longer hungry trying to decide where to eat, and all the commercialism that is on that side. / this is what the smoky mountains are all about. a peaceful and beautiful life, blending into the enviroment instead of ruining it. going to the local mom and pop resturant instead of supporting chains that are all around the world. / there is a hidden beauty in this area, and to see it, one must have a open mind and open eyes. i shot this in SS priority ( i always shoot in SS priority) at 1/125, F-stop at 11, ISO at 100, and exposure comp at -0.03, focus at 38mm

A peaceful look across the pond at one of the several barns at The Allandale Mansion in Kingsport, TN. Quite a few children and their fathers come here to catch the fish that await the next throw in. The mansion, however is an extreme hot spot for couples stage their wedding ceremonies with it sporting two gazebos, a garden and it’s exquisite foyer that boasts a marvelous photo opportunity for the wedding party.
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.

I applied the Orton Effect for this photo. I was out shooting clouds, and with the sun being SO HOT; I stepped into the shade from this willow. The view there was beautiful.
