Seriously, I’m not crying wolf

As we were leaving Cherokee to head back over to Bryson City, I happened to catch something out of the corner of my eye jumping up out of the woods by the roadside. As I quickly glanced back I realized it was a wolf. Needless to say I quickly pulled over, grabbed the camera and started snapping pics. I got a couple of him looking straight at me but they were pretty far away. This was the best shot I could get using maximum zoom on the camera.

We’re guessing he was scavenging for food cause we saw him walk up a little farther and start tearing into a bag of garbage that had been set just outside the door of this building.

A quick jaunt to Cherokee, NC

We took a quick trip to Cherokee, NC on Sunday, July 5th since it was only about 10 miles away. I was able to take a number of cool pics while we were there. This particular one is pretty funny to me. Personally, I need a little more compelling reason to stay at a Motel than they were offering.

I wrote a quick blog post about this picture over at the DDS blog too.

I was very pleased with how this shot of Ginger turned out. On July the 4th we took about a 3 mile hike through the Great Smoky Mountains State Park. This shot was taken in front of Juney Whank Falls. I was trying to get sort of a Macro type feel but I couldn’t get far away enough given the terrain to and trail limitations to make that happen. Even so, I love this picture.
