Here is a collection of photo's taken over the last year in Cades Cove. It is my little slice of heaven.

Hey, no, that's MY little slice of heaven!!
It is a beautiful, beautiful place. I'd be there every other day if it wasn't for two things:
1. Work.
2. The thousands and thousands of other people who seem to think they have the right to be there too.

I especially like the deer jumping over the fence, and the bear.
It's funny (well, no, really it's sad), I've never managed to get a photo of a bear in Cades Cove. Pretty much every other photographer I know, and MOST of my friends who own nothing but cell phone cameras, have gotten bear pics in the cove--but not me. I'm cursed.
Closest I came was last spring, on Hyatt Lane, but I'd just gotten stopped at a great place and was grabbing my camera from the passenger seat when some IDIOTS came driving by and purposely honked and yelled to scare the bear away.

Great stuff. The turkey and the buck jumping the fence for me.
