This was shot in a local creek. despite it power to carve the landscape, it's appearance can be decieving. Through a long shutter speed shot, I felt this shot captured the soft quality water has.

A large open meadow held a breathtaking sight....a large herd of elk. They have been re-introduced to The Smoky Mountain Park and are protected, they seem to be so co-operative for all the people who wanted to take thier pictures. I was just so excited, I really had trouble holding the camera still enough to focus!

Hidden Falls

Hidden Falls
Originally uploaded by dreamscapepictures.

These falls are clearly visable from the road in The Smokey Mountain National Park. However, due to the lush Forest that surrounds them they can be quite mysterious. There is a pulloff on the road you travel in the Park. At the Pull off you will find a rather impressive retaining wall that holds back the river, one that runs rather swiftly. We have often contimplated just how we can hike to these falls get a better view; but so far no trail possiblities lend themselfs. So for now, they will have to remain hidden.
Like a great mystery novel waiting to be read.

Here is another shot of a buck we happened across in Cades Cove, TN. This one I was able to approach, and get within in six feet of.
Although he is standing on one side of a fence and I another, don't let that fool you, He was not domesticated and fhese fence's are just a little extra exercise for them as they leap over them with great ease.
Cades Cove is a huge Valley in The Smokey Mountain National Park set aside as a Preserve of Life and the way it was for Pioneer's of the Mountain many years ago.

Happy Place hdr
Originally uploaded by dreamscapepictures.

You may ask what is hdr, well it is a new form of photography, which stands for High Dynamic Range. It gives a three dimensional effect to your photographs. It is not an easy effect achieve, This shot was duel purpose for me, one to test out hdr and slow shutter together on water. It had a really unique look. The green in the water is caused by a thick layer of alge growing at the surface. This is our local rock slide that sends you down into a water hole. Good old fashioned fun.

This is that special time when the sun sinks behind the horizon, sky deepening in blue, any moment the starlight will begin to shine. I love this part of a sunset. It may not be dramatic as a cloud filled sky,
but still there is something very calming about a quiet sunset like this.

Shot atop a high hill in Birmingham, this sunset proved to be very dramatic, it changed constantly with fog rising up over the distant hill,
it was magical. My husband actually turned round so I could capture from the Parking lot of a local eatery, seeing me there shooting drew
onlookers and fellow phototogs.

My favorite creek. Once slated for destruction by county officals, to be replaced with a prison. Our community stood up and fought to save it. It is a hot spot in our communtiy, now a nature preserve, it features
a rock slide that you can ride in a sturdy pair of jeans, that will dump you out into a swimming hole.
