Two beautiful blue jays sit atop this tree within the Prentice Cooper State Forest in Chattanooga,Tennessee overlooking the mountain. There are a variety of birds that live here in the forest and I went on a bird photo hunt this morning and found several to capture on my camera. I saw a large red-headed woodpecker, but could not get set quickly enough, but I will get him the next time.

Click link to view my photo album. I have been going to the Smokey Mountains since I was a child. I have always loved being in the woods, but going to the Smokies is always so much better than just going into the woods. The waters flowing with such force, the trees so much larger than just going into the woods. I always end up seeing some kind of an animal whether it be a deer or a bear, or a wolf, On my last visit on 09-10-2009 at the end of the day while travelling out of the park, a white wolf, true story, crossed in front of our car and slowly made his way down of the edge of the road and down the embankment. I have put together several photos of my trip that day and I am going to share them with everyone because I want you to enjoy these most interesting sites as much as I did.
Please look for all of my coverage on The Great Smokey Mountain National Park.

Enjoy this last video of my trip to The Great Smokey Mountain National Park! It is the setting of the sun at Clingman's Dome. Very Beautiful!

This is part 2 of my walk into the Prentice Cooper State Forest and Wildlife Management Area located atop Suck Creek Mountain on Waldens Ridge in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Venturing into the woods I find myself surrounded by trees and fallen wood from awhile past. I discover a bone lying next to a tree. It is very old and decayed, however, there are marks on it as if a wild animal may have been biting on it and I see there are what would appear to be blood spots on one end.This is part 2 of my walk into the Prentice Cooper State Forest and Wildlife... more

National Park Service Rangers are HOT! They're really smart and helpful too. First I met Ranger Rick. We went hiking and he took me to some beautiful waterfalls. But then I met Ranger Steve, and he was even hotter than Ranger Rick. This was at Mount Rainier National Park. So many National Parks, so many rangers, so little time. I love the great outdoors.National Park Service Rangers are HOT! They're really smart and helpful too.... more
