Great Smoky Mountains!
I experienced the beauty of Great Smoky Mountains National Park for the first time last month. It seemed a little different then the Blue Ridge mountains I’m used to in Virginia…denser forests with an abundance of rivers and waterfalls, more like a rainforest. It seemed like everywhere I went I could hear the river flowing. I saw lots of black bears, turkeys, and deer and other wildlife while exploring the park. I’m so glad I invested in a longer telephoto lens before this trip because I was able photograph bear cubs that were snacking and resting high up in an oak tree! I can’t wait to go back again and stay a little longer.
