I love being in Cades Cove when it snows. I love seeing the landscapes and hearing the snow crunch beneath my feet.

 

I took this photo on March 21, many years ago. I so hope it snows next month!  

 

Fingers Crossed!

Soon enough, the black bear moms will show off their new cubs. 

 

My favorite shot to capture is a cub riding on its mom’s back. She says, “Look at my cute baby!” I can’t wait.

*A Northern Harrier, a.k.a. the Gray Ghost, downs a mouse at Cades Cove, Tennessee last week, amidst the scorched landscape from a controlled burn. The landscape seemed other-worldly.

It was neat observing the Gray Ghost soaring through the Cove. As he flew, he banked right and then disappeared behind a hill. I wanted to see where he went, so I topped the hill to see the harrier plucking a mouse—striping it of its fur. Before long, there was a white ring of fur surrounding the harrier.

One day, all will change when Christ reigns over the earth. The Bible states, “The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them.” (Isaiah 11:6, ESV.)

Backstory:

 

I’ve always wanted to photograph an animal on the tallest hill in Cades Cove—the hill right before Tipton Cabin. I was thrilled to find a doe standing there asking to have her photo taken. I love how the doe is looking out at the vast beauty of the Cove with the mountain in the background.

 

As well as reflecting on the previous year, I look forward to the new year.

 

I would be amiss if I didn’t start by looking at how I look forward to the spring cubs! Cubs are my favorite subject to photograph. I love Cades Cove!!

 

My son, Ashton, is getting married this fall. How exciting:)

 

My daughter, Lauren, is looking into moving closer to us in Tennessee.

 

Finally, our forever home is getting started, hopefully this spring.

 

I know the Lord will be with and guide me whatever comes my way. He blesses my photography immensely.

 

I want to tell you how to make the best decision for this new year. It’s as simple as ABC.

 

 A — Admit that you are a sinner. (Romans 3:23)    

B — Believe that Jesus, God’s only son, was born and died on the cross for your sins. (Acts 16:31)

C — Confess and repent of your sins and ask Him to be the Lord of your life. (1 John 1:9) 

 

Then watch your life turn into something beautiful:)
