3/1/10 Cades Cove officially closed today for a new road - rescheduled to open May 21st. We will all deeply miss the Cove and everything it offers - animals, landscape, structures and much more BUT lets not dwell on our self pity. What about the animals. They will miss all those humans adoring them everyday. What will they be thinking-that no one loves them anymore?

Walker Sisters Cabin - Black and White #266
This Homestead is located in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
It is so peaceful in this cove where a cabin, barn and spring house remain. When the National Park took over this acreage these 5 Walker sisters refused to leave their homestead where they were born and raised before the Park was established. The Sisters and Park Service made an agreement which allowed them to live their lives out on their homestead.
They continued to live off their land welcoming the public that visited their home in the National Park.
When visiting their homestead, you can feel their spirit still alive enjoying the land and sharing it with us - Thank You Ladies.
FOLLOWING IS A POEM WRITTEN BY LOUISA WALKER THE LAST REMAINING WALKER SISTER.
My Mountain Home
There is an old weather bettion house
that stands near a wood
With an orchard near by it
For all most one hundred years it has stood
It was my home in infency
It sheltered me in youth
When I tell you that I love it
I tell you the truth
But now comes the park Commissioner
Comes all dressed up so gay
Saying this old house of yours
We must now take away
They coax they wheedle
They fret they bark
Saying we have to have this place
For a National Park
But many of us have a title
That is sure and will hold
To the City of peace
Where the streets are pure gold
And no park Commissioner
Will ever dar
To destruct or molest
Or take our home from us there.

#268 Territorial Buck
Shooting this Buck was one of my most
exhilarating experiences thus far as a
photographer. The intent for the day was capturing
two male deer sparing. This is always exciting to
watch and fun to photograph. However, I never
imagined capturing this Territorial Buck galloping
directly toward me, panting, flinging water in all
directions. I love how the droplets of water are
frozen in midair; how the buck’s wet fur is laying
close to his skin in different patterns and colors,
and how clear the photograph is both visually and
mentally.
The setting is on a creek in Caves Cove at the
Great Smoky Mountains National Park,
Tennessee. It was a brisk morning of 42 degrees.
The day was warming nicely as the sun rose into
the blue, clear sky. It was a perfect day to be in the
mountains hiking and even got incredibly better.
We had been walking about three
miles when spotting two huge male deer both
toting eight point racks on their heads. They were
running at top speed across a field; one buck
chasing the other. The bucks are extremely
territorial this time of year and will protect their
territory from other bucks. As they continued to run,
they came to a creek which happened to be right
where we were. Talk about perfect timing! We
were unable to see the bucks but we heard the
creek water splashing wildly. I peeked down the
creek and saw one of the bucks in the water and
the other one had crossed the creek and was on
the other side standing on the creek bank. At this
point, I was on the opposite bank approximately 40
feet down from them. I positioned myself behind
the closest tree, which I may add was small,
targeting my zoom lens down the creek bed toward
the Buck in the creek. I didn’t have a clear shot at
this time with trees and branches impeding my
view so I stayed very quiet and mentally willed the
Buck to come my way. He must have gotten my
telepathy message because he started galloping
thru the water coming directly toward me. The shot
was going to be now or never. So I just started
shooting as fast as my finger could click the shutter
button, and the camera could mechanically sustain
the pushing. The Buck hadn’t seen me or heard
the camera yet which had me a bit on edge. When
I’m shooting animals, I like for them to know I’m
there. You never know their reactions when they
suddenly discover you. He was practically on top
of me when finally realizing I was there. He looked
directly at me looking stunned, but I just kept on
shooting without fear. After assessing me, he
apparently felt no concerns or threats about the
situation, as he just stood there looking around in
different direction giving me a show. After about a
minute or two, who could keep track of time, he
turned around and left the same way he came.
WOW, what an incredible experience! For a few
seconds it was as if the Buck and I were one.
Every time I think of these few
moments, a smile appears on my face, and I give
thanks for the gift I received this day, November 21, 2009.

The Lonely Boat
How did this one lonely boat land on this deserted Smoky Mountain Beach? Was it here when the lake was active and filled with water, other boats, and wild life? Has it been left behind to be the only watcher of these beautiful mountains and wild life knowing all but telling nothing? The boats condition is decent. Does the owner come and sit in it now and again enjoying the peacefulness of the rich area?
The deserted drained lake is Laurel Lake located in Townsend, Tennessee. It is being refurbished by the local citizens. As we were driving by the deserted lake, twenty Buzzards were the first thing that grabbed our attention. Some were sunning their bodies with their large wings spread catching the breeze, others were souring in the space above the lake, and yet others were perched on old dead tree braches that were protruding from the lake. There was a taste of eeriness in the air.
As we advancing onto the property the buzzards left, however the drained lake and its backdrop became the focus. The remaining hay colored reeds in the lake were reflecting a sage tone off the shallow muddy water. The mountain forest behind the lake was showing splashes of color as autumn was slowly setting in. It was at this time the lonely boat struck my view.
My first thoughts drifted toward how the boat was all alone in this deserted area. It seemed to be sitting there all by itself as if no one cared about it. At a closer inspection, the boat was in good condition. So why didn’t someone take it home while the lake was being refurbished? As I slowly approached the boat, I noticed the boat was sharing its space with a strong, deep shadow. It wasn’t alone after all.
At that moment the photo materialized instantly for me. I saw the Smoky Mountains turning their autumn colors as the backdrop. The drained, muddy lake with straw colored reeds showing their brilliant reflection in the remaining shallow water which made a perfect middle setting. And at the front of the stage, the stars of the show, this wonderful boat and its shadow on the pebbled covered beach. PERFECT! BRAVO! When it all comes together like this you know it’s right.
It was also clear at this time that I was wrong about the boat being lonely. This may have been my first impression but it certainly wasn’t my last!

Autumn’s Finale
Wind Blowing; Leaves spiraling and fluttering from the sky. Why is this such a pleasing feeling? It makes me feel alive as the leaves free fall through the air so gracefully. They are light and colorful taking their time before scattering in all directions to the earth. I feel the gentle breeze pushing the leaves in my direction wanting to scoop me up to be a part of nature with them. I have often thought how I would like to capture this moment in time. I finally did with my camera.
For now, I will continue to enjoy the brisk Autumn air and the delicate movement of the dancing falling leaves until the trees are bare and winter sets in than I can refer back to my photo to capture the feeling and moment of Autumn again.

Fly Like An Eagle
Fly like an Eagle - Well not quite an Eagle but a Turkey Buzzard. The serenity of these large birds gliding in the air is a calming site. They glide so effortlessly like a Free Spirit.
It would be amazing to glide like this. The wind gently blowing in your face, flowing through your hair. No worries; No cares. Just you and the surrounding atmosphere. The air cleansing your body; the quietness calming your spirit.
Thoughts come and go until you are completely in the moment of the gliding. Your body is light now. It moves side to side as it catches the flow of the wind slipping through the tips of your wings. Your tail feathers fluttering. You never experienced anything like this before. It is phenomenal! Your eyes focus now on the brilliant colors of the autumn trees. Scarlet, burnt orange, gold - they are overwhelming! You continue to glide along noticing familiar landmarks that you have viewed a thousand times from the ground but look completely different from this 360 degree aerial view.
What a great Autumn Day in The Great Smoky Mountains; You glided like a Turkey Buzzard.

Townsend, TN, October 25, 2009.
AUTUMN COLORS HAVE ARRIVED IN TOWNSEND
Slowly the leaf colors have been changing over the last two weeks. Than loads of rain and heavy wind were bestowed upon us for days and days along with unusually cold temperatures. It was questionable to how the autumn color leaves would react to this unusual weather. It was even looking doubtful that we would have a pretty fall this year. However overnight, Friday to Saturday the colors started popping as if magic.
This photo was shot on Sunday in Townsend on the Little River while a mist was slowly clearing. As you can see there is still some green but the oranges, yellows and reds are becoming predominant over the greens.
If you want great Fall Photos in The Great Smoky Mountains in this area, the next 2 weeks will be the time to capture them. Happy Shooting!
