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.

AND, THIS IS A MOON FLOWER
This is one of the most spectacular flowers I've ever seen. One can observe it opening near dark. Then it closes up around sun up. Amazing - like white linen or satin
ENJOYING THE CREEK BEHIND THE HOUSE
The day was busy and the evening was upon us, the dogs and I, and we decided to just go hand near the creek and enjoy the quiet sounds there. Chorus frogs were starting to sing and the dogs enjoyed exploring and getting exercise.
Clematis
I had weed whacked a path to the creek through the meadow behind the house so the dogs and I could reach the creek. The weed whacking became extensive as I went ahead and cleared the weeds and growth off the banks of the creek for easy access.
Below is Iron Weed
Above is the old pole barn that sits near the house. If that thing could talk--

Above is a picture of the more extensive weed whacking I did along the creek. The cutting and clearing extends the length of the creek bank on my property, 9 acres of meadow.
There go the girls running and having a ball. Its late afternoon so it isn't too hot for them.
Above is Grassy Creek as seen behind the house. Nice and shady.

THE SKY IS ON FIRE
Last night's display across Hawkins County, Tennessee were spectacular.
And as the sun goes down, the colors gradually disappear.
