About Me

My photo
Middle Tennessee, United States
I was raised in a very close, Christian based middle-class family in a Southern city suburb. I have been married 34 years. I have 2 grown sons, a beautiful granddaughter, and 1 older sister. Our home right now is also home to 3 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 pet chickens! I love music, outdoors, pets, wildlife, and new adventures. I love all of nature and God's many creations and can't imagine a life without a love of God and family, wildlife and the outdoors.

Photo Journaling
I love nothing more than to go out in the world and document what I see, the way I see it. Time I spend walking in a woods or along an overlook or floating on a lake or river is often the backdrop for my pictures. If not in the wilderness, then I also like to visit places of historical or architectural interest. Many of my photos will be nothing more than quick clicks just around the house.
I would love to have you visit - come view my photos. Feel free to comment, tell me what you like or don't like, and most of all just enjoy your time here.

Schedules, Demands, Deadlines!

     Time for some relief? Mt. Le Conte is calling? Le Conte Lodge atop Mt. Le Conte in the Smoky Mountains is the perfect getaway. No electricity, no phones, no access except by foot. Supplies are even carried in by llama. Scrumptuous meals, warm bunks and chatting with friends, it's the perfect place to unwind.











View of my cabin and bunk for the night. 


     After a rib-splitting dinner fit for a king, and before lighting the lantern for the evening, time to head to Cliff Tops to try and catch the sunset.




     Darn, where did the evening go??? 
After a hearty breakfast, it's time to head back down to civilization!








After a brief rest at Alum Cave Bluffs, it's on down the trail....





    Back to the parking lot....maybe I could just start up again....but no that will have to be another day, another time when again the stresses of daily life once again call me back to the mountaintop!
