A walk in the Great Smokies

Once again my friend and teacher Dave B http://cynical-lens.blogspot.com/2014/04/here-and-there.html has inspired me to take up my camera and try again.  In the mean time here are some old photo's of a spot I really enjoy.  A few years back my wife Teresa and I spent a week in the Great Smokies.  The sights the LORD gave us were truly great.  I would like to share some of them with you at this time.  I wish the pictures were better and truly captured the beauty but, well here they are.

We had arrived and took a hike up this creek just after the rain had stopped.  It was so beautiful.You can see some of the mist still rising.  Makes me think of the Garden of Eden and how it says the mist rose up.

This was a waterfall we hiked back to.  It was about 5-6 miles off the trail in very hot weather but was well worth the trip back.  Needless to say the water felt really great. 

This was another creek we came accross and I had been reading a book about different settings so I practiced on this .

Another creek coming through the hills and over rocks 

Hope you enjoyed these
