Trapped



“Trapped”

My neighbor asked me if I had seen the deer. I had not but hoped to photograph them since it was right behind where I live.

I am constantly looking out my window to see if there is any wildlife, and this time, I was in luck. A doe and her two mature fawns walked onto the peninsula, but being surrounded by water, they had no escape route.

I grabbed my camera and headed towards the peninsula. I got the shots I wanted, so I retreated so they could leave. It was a beautiful sight.

Standing Out


“Standing Out”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography

Yesterday was the first snow in Cades Cove, Tennessee for 2019. It was a delight to see God’s nature decorated in white.

I knew it would be easier to see the bears because they would stand out against the freshly fallen snow. Even though I loved seeing the snow, my mission was bears, bucks, and birds.

My usual prayer went up, “Lord, show me or bring to me what you want me to photograph.”

When I saw a bear jam (traffic backed up because of tourist stopping to view the bears near the road) I quickly pull over and walked to where people were gathered on the side of the road.

The momma bear was with her yearlings and hunting for food under the snow. My Christmas present came early—she stood up on her hind legs. What a sight! (low res photo)
