June 9th - Hiking in the Smokies

Shannon had to work today so Nancy, Megan and I went hiking near Tremont in Great Smoky Mountains.

Nancy and Megan enjoy the view

Butterfly convention

More butterflies

Butterflies are hard to photograph in flight

A waterfall that goes sideways down the mountain

Lots of wildflowers

Lots of waterfalls and rapids

My kind of trail

Birthday Hike in the Smokies

 June 8th 2013 - 60 years old today

Spent the weekend in Gatlinburg with the family celebrating mine and Shannon's birthdays and Father's Day.   Saturday we hiked to a waterfall in the Great Smoky Mtn Natl Park. Got a chance to try out my new camera.

All my beautiful girls!

Saw several varieties of  wildflowers 

It's a bird, it's plane, it's a very big tree!

Yea! Finally reached the falls.
