Virgin Falls TN

This waterfall is a beauty. It takes 4 hours just to get to her. Her beginning is a cave opening and her end is another cave. The water seems to come out just to get touched by light and then disappears back to solitude. It is a must see.

The Buckmoth stops here

This Buck Moth Caterpillar was just hanging around, eating some leaves, enjoying it's day until we scooped it up and trapped it in some tupperware. We put it on this big, blue hydrangea and made the picture that you see here. We know it's not as romantic as just coming upon it in the forest & capturing it in just the right light but he was so interesting that we just had to get a good shot. We took him back to the place that we found him the next day (that is the romantic part).

Eastern Tennessee Stream

This serene little stream flows to the left of the Ramsay Cascades trail in the Great Smoky Mountains. The water is pulled and pushed against the rocks where large particles of sediment are removed and trace minerals are added. Nature is both beautiful and good
