    Water winds its way
    Cascading throughout the day
    Tumbling stones in play

  • Poem

    Poem

    Water Spirits

    Sifting through time in forested mountains
    As beauty of movement in water chases gravity
    Echoes ring in a rush, over and around rocks
    Raining rhythm on riverside deadheads
    Rolling, splashing and drumming pockets of air

    I’ve come to appreciate the sound of rivers that talk
    Speaking in the tongue of ancients
    Of Indians, pioneers, early settlers and nomads alike
    Lives lived and long passed, here
    Beneath the soil where once was home
    Now, singing as spirits in the current of waves

    Alone in the forest, listening to the flow of nature
    I hear their voices and it sounds heavenly

  • Changing Landscape

    Changing Landscape

    Heavy rains saturate the soil, draining downhill to bolster waterways. Strong winds topple trees, some of which may wash downstream. Change is constant and it’s always a good time to visit the forest following notable weather events.

    Seen here, Middle Prong Little River is flowing fast the day after heavy rainfall. Located in the Tremont section of the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, it’s one of my favorites places to hike, with a wide variety of diverse scenery to enjoy.

    You can enjoy this landscape scenery on a print in your home, when you visit my galleries to select the perfect accent piece for an empty wall…

  • Blanket of Water

    Blanket of Water

    Following heavy rainfall, Middle Prong Little River was high on the banks and with fewer areas to safely stand while keeping dry. However, the broad spread of water is always a welcome sight!

    This landscape photograph was captured in the Smoky Mountains and is available on prints for your home, office, or perhaps as a gift to give family and friends. Learn more when visiting my galleries at Pixels and ArtPal.

    Thanks for stopping by!

  • Rocks in the River

    Water races rapidly around the bend and over rocks, along Middle Prong Little River. Located in the Tremont section of the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, you can enjoy this landscape scenery at home when you purchase a print from my galleries at Pixels or ArtPal.

    Hike when you can, and enjoy the great outdoors!

    This roadside attraction – a spring fed waterfall – was photographed on a mountain top along the newer section of the Foothills Parkway, located in the Smoky Mountains near Wears Valley, Tennessee. If interested in a print, you can visit my gallery for a great selection of options.
