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.

Nature's Message
Frost covers the trees and fields. Leaves change to dramatic colors. The harsh weather causes change in the field and wood. Animals are burrowing and preparing for hibernation. Birds have either left or are preparing to leave on annual migrations. Many are returning from Northern Climates. As the waters become cold and the air crisp; the lakes are suddenly void of human use and it appears that nature once again has taken control of her territories. The thin skinned and frail humans are susceptable to the cold of winter and find it uncomfortable, preferring to remain indoors until Nature allows them the use of her offerings in the warmer times of Spring. But the strong winds and storms of winter are thrilling and exhillerating! They awaken the sprit and test the fortitude of mortal man. They are a reminder of who and what is really in control. Total control!!
