 “As the Eagle Soars”

*An eagle soars over Lake Junaluska, North Carolina, showcasing the clouds wrapped around the mountain.

The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene resulted in widespread destruction and loss of life. My heart aches as I think about the millions of people affected by this powerful storm, including the communities of Lake Junaluska and Maggie Valley.

The eagle's perspective has shifted as it glides above the area. Many businesses have been forced to permanently close due to their inability to afford the costs of rebuilding.

Lake Junaluska holds a special place in my heart—my family has been visiting there since I was a child. Every summer, we make a trip to this beautiful place, and this past July, we had the pleasure of introducing our son's fiancée to this wonderful location.

Mack the Grieving Swan

“Mack the Grieving Swan”

This is Mack a mute swan. His mate Singletary was shot with a crossbow in January 2015 and was killed. It was a senseless and terrible act. The residents of Lake Junaluska were extremely upset about the loss of the swan.

Ken, who lives at there, cares for the birds, especially the swans. He told me swans grieve for two years. I watched Mack one rainy day, and I feel the photograph captured the essence of what Mack was feeling that day—grief.

Swimming On A Canvas Of Oil

"Swimming On A Canvas Of Oil"

I love this photograph of the baby duck, but I also love the background. The water looks like a mixture of green and blue oil paints swirled together on a canvas.
