A Smell of Fresh Air!

 

Nothing quite like the smell of cool, fresh air after a rain. A shot of two turkeys(lower right) in the field after a late summer rain in Cades Cove. Don't you just want to reach up and touch the clouds?

Look Into My Eyes!

Mallard Duck (Anas platyrhynchos)

Hunters of all kinds work tirelessly at creating and finding the perfect camouflage to better conceal themsleves in the woods. Well I hate to tell  you guys but God designed the best camouflage ever made. The colors and patterns of this female Mallard Duck help it to blend in perfectly with the grass in which it usually nest. Amid the tones of browns blending together, this shot just pulls you to look into the eyes! The eyes are the only spot that stand out a little bit from the rest of the body.

"Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts"
