Tennessee – Sunrise, Sunset
I’m so in love with this view, perfectly positioned to enjoy both sunrises and sunsets. There’s something here that soothes my soul.

Tennessee – the Beauty of Storms in the Smoky Mountains
One of my favorite things is watching afternoon thunderstorms roll over the mountains. Protected by my covered deck, I watched one front move through Wears Valley followed thirty minutes later by another. The heavy downpours, booming thunder and crackling lightning set against the Smoky Mountains is magnificent to witness. As the storm passed, thick fog slowly blanketed the valley, making the mountains disappear before my eyes. The air cooled as mist enveloped my cabin. It seemed I was in a cloud.

Tennessee – Cades Cove
There’s something about the Great Smoky Mountains that connects with my soul, a sense of peace that I crave. After rescheduling my May trip due to Covid-19 lockdowns, I made the trip this month and immersed myself in the beauty and calm of the Smokies.
One of the first things on my list was to drive the Cades Cove loop. It’s an eleven mile, one way, slow and scenic drive with a high likelihood of seeing wildlife. It never disappoints.

Scenes from Death Valley
On a recent trip to Nevada, my sister and I took a three day/two night girl’s trip which included a day spent in Death Valley. The weather was perfection with the sun adding warmth, color, light and shadows. It was a magical place and a dream to photograph. The photos below are my favorites.

After a predominately cold and rainy May in Michigan, June has already given a boost to my garden. In just a few days new flowers are emerging and so I’ll share what bloomed today with a promise of much more to follow, stay tuned…
