  • Ijams Nature Center

    Yesterday I visited Mead’s Quarry Lake, part of the Ijams Nature Center, a 315-acre park along the Tennessee River in Knoxville, where I hiked for a few hours. Mining operations in the early 1900’s included extraction of limestone and marble, and remnants of milled-stone are evident throughout the park. Here are a few photographs of the area:


  • Small Waterfall

    Small Waterfall

    On Dry Creek

    Located in the Cherokee National Forest near Greeneville, Tennessee, this small waterfall can be enjoyed going off trail while en route to Margarette Falls. It’s less than 10-feet tall with surface conditions quite slippery – as you can see, there’s moss everywhere.

    Another interesting point is the local geology, most of which is sloped on an angle. And, it’s one of my favorite trails to hike!

    Prints and more are available, here:

  • Beautiful Waterfall

    Beautiful Waterfall

    This waterfall doesn’t have a name, either. It’s located in the Cherokee National Forest near Greeneville, Tennessee, along the trail to Margarette Falls. If you haven’t hiked this trail, I think it’s one of the most beautiful in the area. This and other small waterfalls and cascades are scattered along Dry Creek – and, Margarette Falls is stunning, too. Prints are available in my gallery to enjoy year round.


  • Picturesque Waterfall

    Picturesque Waterfall

    Actually, this waterfall doesn’t have a name. It’s located along Dry Creek on the trail to Margarette Falls, in the Cherokee National Forest near Greeneville, Tennessee. Yet, given such natural beauty, picturesque seems fitting. You can enjoy this on a print in your home or office when you visit my gallery – it’s open 24/7 with many print types available for purchase. Thanks for stopping by!
