I was thrilled to be able to photograph a Great Horned Owlet and his family. I could watch them forever. This is only the second time I’ve had the privilege of doing so.

Sometimes the best way to photograph him was by lying down. Sadly, they have fledged:(

He is a cutie! What do you think?

I love it when I can envision a shot. It doesn’t come easy, but I’m thrilled when the outcome is even better than expected.

Yesterday, I was photographing with friends when I noticed two swans near a red reflection from a barn in the pond. 

     

     “I want to photograph them in that,” I said as I pointed to the reflection. 

We took turns leading the swans to the reflection with food. When my friends walked away, I wanted to try one more time. I ran up the path and they followed, and then ran fast back to where I wanted to take the photo. It worked like a charm.

😇 🌟“My New Year’s Wish” 😇 🌟

 

Here are my favorite nine photos from 2024. It was a fantastic year! I’ll share more about it later when I post my annual reflection. I hope you enjoy your New Year’s Eve festivities.

 

My wish for you in the New Year is simple yet profound: I hope you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. He loves you so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. This act had a tremendous purpose: to ensure that we have a place with Him in Heaven if we trust in and believe in His Son as our personal Lord and Savior. Trusting Him for our salvation is as easy 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) 

 

Much love, Judy!

My best of nine photos I posted this year showcase the beauty and splendor of Cades Cove, two pictures of a fox, and one mamma dolphin and her baby breaching in St. Lucia. What a year of photography:)

My photos take me back to where I was when I photographed them. The memories will live on forever through my photography.

I wanted to wish all my followers a Merry Christmas and a wonderful and blessed New Year! THANK YOU for taking the time to like and comment on my work!!

*A bear and bobcat print can be seen in the sand in Cades Cove, Tennessee. 

I love looking for animal tracks when I’m in the Cove. My favorite two prints to find are the bear and the bobcat. I do extensive hiking, and one day, when it snowed, I saw a bobcat print in the snow on a log across a stream.

While walking down a dry creek bed, I recently found a bear paw print and a bobcat print. I put my hand next to it for scale. I was very excited!

I love the fall, but I miss many things about the spring, including this fox kit. The little ones are so much fun to watch as they wrestle and play. 

This kit enjoyed a few moments of solace without his siblings while standing near a tomato plant, enjoying the peace and quiet.

 “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.

Lining Up

* A mute swan glides through colorful reflections. *

I love photographing the wildlife at Lake Junaluska, North Carolina. My favorites subjects there are the mute swans and bald eagles. Through the years, many more swans have been purchased, making it easier to find one to photograph.

I envisioned the shot I wanted to take when I saw this swan nearing a colorful reflection, which made the shot more interesting. His white reflection is beginning to line up with the other.

Soaring Above Cades Cove

“Soaring Above Cades Cove”

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.

Bahama Pintail Duck

“Bahama Pintail Duck”

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

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.

My best of nine for 2023…

My best of nine for 2023…

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

 

My best of nine photos I posted this year showcase the beauty and splendor of Cades Cove. Funny how all my top images were taken in the Cove. The Cove is my second home. I feel close to God while outside in the beauty He created.

 

These photos bring back so many memories—that’s what I love about photography!

 

The top middle photo is a video of three cubs strolling down Loop Road with their momma. The two deer photos are the same because a hub on Instagram shared my picture on their hub.

 

I wanted to wish all my followers a wonderful and blessed New Year! THANK YOU for taking the time to like and comment on my work!! If you are not following my Facebook photography page, I’d love for you to like and follow my page (Judy Royal Glenn Photography). ~ Judy
