Back from the Smokies

Back from the Great Smoky Mountains and WOW - what a beautiful place! Of course it didn't hurt that I was with my good friends Tony and JZ. I had a wonderful time both photographing and just catching up with old friends.

Here are a few pics. This is one of my favorites. I think I'm going to call it "House of the Flying Dogwoods":

One morning we were blessed with the most amazing mist among the trees:

 

And another morning we were blessed with the most amazing fog. These are the kind of times that make photographers giddy with excitement.

A Warm Hello from the Smokies

Hi everybody - Just checking in from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park!

I am here with Tony Sweet and Jim Zuckerman as Tony prepares for another fantastic workshop. Things are warm here and the leaves are coming in. The dogwood and redbud is are beginning to bloom... it's looking to be a very pretty spring season indeed.

Tony is not only a fine artist, but he's also a great guy - very friendly and easy to get along with. If you ever get a chance to take a workshop with Tony and his family/company (Sue and Kelly), I recommend it. I've been to many workshops and I rarely see anyone go as far out of their way to make sure the students get a satisfactory experience.
