Gary's Outdoor Wanderings2

This blog is a visual record of my outings into the streams, lakes and forests of Tennessee and North Carolina by canoe, motor boat and motorcycle. I love photography and use that venue to record wildlife and wilderness scenes for my personal enjoyment. I enjoy writing short stories also and do so while out in the forests or on the lakes. I also am addicted to dogs as will be apparent as you read my blog. But, the canoe is my favorite means of escape and wilderness camping is a joy.

THIS MORNING SUN UP CHEROKEE LAKE

Cherokee Lake was beautiful this morning at sun up. This lake does have its moments. I was working in the center part of this large waterway and I got there before the pleasure boats and bass boats arrived. The first four hours of the shift would be enjoyable.

King birds were everywhere dancing on the limbs and twigs of the trees along the island shores. They were everywhere.

The fog is rising off the water in the above shot and the sun is reaching to the shoreline. However, a little momma wood duck is using the shadows to move along the edge of the wood in a clandestine fashion.
