This is a side view of the giant eagle that is located just outside the entrance to the new Wild Eagle roller coaster at Dollywood.

Where are the Bears?

While visiting the Knoxville Zoo, my son ran into the tunnel that ends with a large glass window that allows visitors to see the grounds in which the black bears roam. They weren’t there this time, but I liked the silhouette effect of this photo.

My Backyard

This is my backyard. I was mowing my yard today and noticed the softness of the clouds and the contrast of the sky, tree, and the field and thought it would make for a great shot.

These are mushrooms that someone was selling at the Dixie Lee Junction Farmers Market this past weekend. The sign in front of the table called them “Gourmet Mushrooms”. These are called Reishi mushrooms, getting in close, they created a nice abstract look.
