I caught this subject during a late summer afternoon

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

I found just the perfect spot to work by perching on some of the abundant boulders

Since moving to Tennessee five years ago

Its history and industrial ruggedness intrigue me

Aspire Fall I caught this subject duringThis moment in the Great Smoky Mountains caught my eye because of the distant highlight on the surface of the water, just around the bend and slightly concealed behind the trees. I always want to know "what's around the bend." In this instance, I couldn't get there (no waders on that day), but I loved the overall contrast and balance within this subject.
