Red Shouldered Hawk at Lake Seminole Park

Red Shouldered Hawk in old tree at Lake Seminole Park.

I originally thought this was a Broad Winged Hawk, but it has turned out to be Red Shouldered Hawk. A Florida Red Shouldered Hawk is closer in appearence to the Broad Winged Hawk than in any other area. Thanks to all that helped with the identification, to see all the comments and discussions about this Hawk please visit the original post at Leedra's Photos For Fun.

This is the road leaving the Little Greenbriar Schoolhouse located close to Metcalfe Bottoms in The Great Smoky Mountains Nations Park.

Foggy morning in Cades Cove

More photographs from the morning fog on October 14 when I went to Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Another old tree.

Here I go again, with another old tree, of sorts. The fog was still hanging on, and gave this photo an odd look, but I like it.

First view of Cades Cove - October 14, 2008

As I arrived at Cades Cove (in GSMNP) on Tuesday, October 14 this was the first views of the cove.

Notice the red showing in the 2nd photograph. Usually the trees in the forefront like to turn dark. The light caught just right to show the color in these leaves.

The 3rd photo is where the deer came out of the woods to the right as I was talking to the gentleman from Germany. I love the 3 trees in the 4th photograph. Me, and my old trees.

Grand Canyon Sunrise Photos

Both of these photographs were taken at sunrise in the Grand Canyon, September 2007.The bottom photograph I just turned around and this man was standing there taking in the awesomeness (is that a word, if not it should be), unaware of anybody around him. This photograph has not been touched, this is the way it turned out. The Smoky's turn blue, I guess the Canyon turns brown.

Skywatch Friday September 5

This sunset photo was taken standing in the middle of my back yard, late winter 2008.My 2 youngest brothers work and live on one of the small islands in Turks Caicos. Just received an email they made it through Hanna with minor problems. But Ike is suppose to be a category 3 or 4 when it hits them. Please pray for them, and for my Mother as she sits and waits for word from them after the storm. I had a rainbow photo I was going to post for SkyWatch Friday this week, but I just couldn't do it after receiving this email.

Visit SkyWatch Friday for more postings.

East Tennessee sunset

Sunset from my backyard. You can tell from the bare tree it was taken in the winter. This is one of my favorite sunsets, although I seem to like a lot of them.

I have this one framed in my home.
