I recently returned from another productive trip to the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee.  I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph with two of my favorite ladies- Cahlean Klenke and Natasha Pierce.  For the three of us to come together in one of my favorite locations from our homes in Maryland, Minnesota and Oklahoma was something of a marvel.  There will be photography, blogs and guest blogs about the trip soon.

But first!  A collection of works from this evenings sunset at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge:

Birds Reflected in the still water under the setting sun.

Forest Ornaments adorn the trees, like promises of Christmas.

I hope you are all having or have had a wonderful fall!
