Morning Light at Cades Cove

Can't you just feel God?

I did while I was standing there.

I made both of these photographs into greeting cards.

Streams with fall colors in the GSMNP

This stream is within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Unusual to have so much water in the streams in the fall. We have had a very wet summer, so this year is good for the streams and fall colors together.

Two different photographs of the same location.

Cades Cove White Tailed Buck with antlers mostly gone.

These are the last photographs of this buck. His antlers were so interesting to me.

You can check out antler information at http://www.buckmasters.com/bm/Resources/Articles/tabid/135/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1172/Antler-Growth-and-Formations.aspx

As I have said before, the deer at Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park are not afraid of people. Just not allowed to touch them.

I actually got between the buck and doe,

because I did not know the buck was behind me to begin with.

From the last photograph you can see how well they blend with the environment around them, which makes it hard to see them sometimes.

Buck following his doe at Cades Cove

This buck was following the 2nd doe in this previous post.He stood very still, as if to say I could photograph him all day.
Although he didn't move during all of these photos, I am posting several because I was moving around and the antlers are showing differently due to the light.

I have never see the antlers at this stage, so it was very interesting to me.

Actually can see blood.

This link http://www.buckmasters.com/bm/Resources/Articles/tabid/135/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1172/Antler-Growth-and-Formations.aspx has information about deer antlers.

I have some more photographs of this same buck I will also be posting.
