Our family loves visiting Callaway Resort & Gardens. I loved following this Pipevine Swallowtail and capturing a photo of it surrounded in color.

A female Northern Harrier soars above the snowy mountains in Cades Cove, Tennessee.
Many people don’t go to the Cove in the winter and miss seeing so much beauty. Yes, the Bears are enjoying their winter rest, but they, too, still come out here and again. I’ve photographed one standing in it.
I love the winter visitors to the Cove—not the human type, but Short-eared Owls and Northern Harriers. I love photographing them. They are hit and miss—they’ll be out, and some days, they are hiding.

I was thrilled to be greeted by a Bahama Pintail duck when we arrived at the Jardin Botanique De Deshaies in Guadeloupe. He kinda took my breath away—he is gorgeous. This duck has a mutation called leucistic which means it has less pigmentation in the skin.
This dabbling duck has several other names as well i.e. white-cheeked pintail and summer duck. You may choose to call him whichever you want. To put the icing on the cake, he was swimming in a pond full of coy.

The Ben Morton Overlook in Sevier County Tennessee has one of the most picturesque mountain views in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The sunsets there are gorgeous!

It’s Christmas in July, and boy, do these hot temperatures make me long for a snowy day in Cades Cove, Tennessee. Any day in Cades Cove is a good day, but add snow, and it is amazing. A good friend and I had a great day in January 2023.
Three frozen trees stood like soldiers standing at attention. They quickly caught my eye. It was eye candy.
I also saw the Gray Ghost (the male Northern Harrier) and watched a buck and bear in the snow.
What more could I have asked for?

“Hanging in There”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
I enjoyed watching this cub climb the pine tree. The bear family put on a show close to the road as I stood on a hill with a prime view. I’m glad I had my long lens.
You can read the reason for my title in my story below…
I’m sorry, bears, I didn’t get to visit you last week. I had COVID, and even though I wouldn’t be close enough to give you COVID, I didn’t want to get others sick.
I titled this photo to describe my state of being. It’s been a rough late spring and early summer. I had kidney stone surgery at the end of May. The antibiotic gave me C. diff. and chest pains, which ended in a trip to the ER. At my post-op appointment, they discovered I still have a kidney stone that is 4.6mm. I got about 120 chigger bites looking for Monarch caterpillars, then Covid last week.
Bears, it was good to see you this week. You make me smile!
