Today I spent a couple of hours browsing the shops in the Arts & Crafts Village right outside of Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains. Later in the day, I decided to drive over to the Greenbrier area of the park. Here are some of the flower photos I took along the drive. And as luck would have it, I finally got to see a black bear in the park. First, I saw the black bear 50 yards ahead of me on the road and then about 15 steps into the woods I heard the rustling of leaves and there sat a cub poking around. Both mom and kiddo took one look at me and hightailed deeper into the woods. It's official after a zillion trips to the Smokies, I have seen a black bear, no, make that two. Enjoy the photos. I'll post a few more in the next few days.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI found your site via Sherrie York at Brush and Baren. Your pics. are beautiful. Would you mind telling us what you use for a camera and other equipment? I do have a digital camera -
a little Casio Exilim that is now 4 or 5 years old. It takes "OK" pics. My husband says it would take better pics. if I learned how to use it properly. I suspect he is right :-D
