"Thankful"
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
I am thankful the Lord created so many beautiful animals for us to see. His nature is amazing.
I also love the way He works. Last year, a total stranger mentioned seeing a fox which led me to her!
Isn’t she gorgeous?

“Who Goes There?”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
In March 2018, a friend and I found two deer behind the welcome center in Cades Cove, Tennessee.
We enjoyed photographing them, and I decided to take a video. One buck had already lost his rack. The other buck had one antler left.
They heard or sensed something on the other side of the field that spooked them. I have no idea what it was.

“The Grandeur Behind Me”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
Sparks Lane, in Cades Cove, Tennessee, is just a slice of Heaven!
In December 2020, I encountered one of the prettiest snowfalls I have ever seen in the Cove. Hints of the autumn colored trees were still visible on the tops of the mountains.
I have already shared my photo of the snow-covered trees at the end of Sparks. I turned around and enjoyed the grandeur behind me.

“The Essence of Cades Cove”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
While hiking in Cades Cove yesterday, I stopped in my tracks to gaze at the beauty in front of me. On the ridge, evergreen trees starkly stood out amongst the snow-covered mountain.
I truly wanted to capture its essence. Because I did not have my tripod, I laid my backpack on the ground and propped my camera on it. While lying on my side, I looked through the viewfinder, set a timer, and took the photo.
It was a lot of effort, but I am so glad I did.

“From up Above”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
A bald eagle loves to rest in a favorite fir tree at Lake Junaluska. But, this particular day, he was nowhere to be found.
A 25-foot-tall lighted cross sits on a ridge overlooking the lake. Since I was a child, I have gone there, so I was well aware of its spectacular vantage point. “Let’s go to the cross,” I told my husband.
We scoured the area to no avail. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a bird soaring to the dry lakebed carrying a large fish. It was the eagle.
My husband was waiting in the car. I tapped on the window and said, “Go, go, go!”
Thankfully, the eagle stayed for a few minutes then took his prize catfish to dine on somewhere else. Eventually, he flew out of sight.
But, that’s not the rest of the story. I know another place where he likes to rest. We drove there and again scoured the territory.
I heard several crows making loud calls and glanced that way. Sure enough, there was the eagle.
I was able to get several nice shots and a video too. I will post those another day.
