Deb Campbell's photostream

I found this guy perched in a tree in Cades Cove this past summer. The only time I've ever been able to get a shot of one. I hear them all the time, just don't hardly see them.

I was doing some stream photography along Rowan's Creek in Cades Cove on Saturday when a doe crossed the stream. She paused to look back at her friend to make sure she was going to join her on the other side. It was a quiet, peaceful morning to be in the mountains.

This is a 4 shot photomerge of "Petey" jumping the fence. Yes, several of the bucks in the cove have names. Not given by me, but an awesome photographer who practically lives there. Ya'll think I'm there alot...ha!
I suggest pressing "L" to view larger. Thanks.

I found his Green Treefrog at Cades Cove this summer. The interesting thing is they are not usually found west of the Appalachian Mountains. A fellow photographer discovered a whole group of these guys and contacted a biologist at the Tremont Institute. They responded that there are no Green Treefrogs in the Great Smoky Mountains. Ummm....I know for a fact there are, the proof is in the picture.

Probably one of the best images I've ever gotten of a cardinal. They normally fly away if you so much as look at them, but this fellow sat nicely for me for at least a minute or two.
