Standing Out


“Standing Out”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography

Yesterday was the first snow in Cades Cove, Tennessee for 2019. It was a delight to see God’s nature decorated in white.

I knew it would be easier to see the bears because they would stand out against the freshly fallen snow. Even though I loved seeing the snow, my mission was bears, bucks, and birds.

My usual prayer went up, “Lord, show me or bring to me what you want me to photograph.”

When I saw a bear jam (traffic backed up because of tourist stopping to view the bears near the road) I quickly pull over and walked to where people were gathered on the side of the road.

The momma bear was with her yearlings and hunting for food under the snow. My Christmas present came early—she stood up on her hind legs. What a sight! (low res photo)

Rainy Day Visitors


“Rainy Day Visitors”

A flock of geese came near my back patio, so I rushed out to photograph them against the beautiful fall color. They weren’t in a hurry to go anywhere because fresh grass seed lay strewed along the lakeshore.

They seemed to enjoy the free treats and stayed for almost four hours.

Back in Time


“Back in Time”

If you want to travel back in time, take a gander through Cades Cove, Tennessee. A good handful of cabins and historical structures still remain in the Cove. One such cabin is the Dan Lawson Place.

Last week, I enjoyed a great day with a friend photographing the fall colors. This photograph is of one of the other outlying buildings next to the cabin.
