Caught this shot at the bottom of Hickory Nut Falls near Chimney Rock. It wasn’t an overly warm morning, but it was pretty humid and recent rains had filled the falls. This picture was taken in October, when we were at the falls in late June/early July the falls were barely a trickle – so it was good to see them picked up.

Another macro picture I took on my Canon Rebel XT. Fixed the shot on macro and dialed in the details with a short focal length. I caught this shot while we were hiking around the park area that leads up to Chimney Rock. It’s amazing all the detail that’s present, if you just stop long enough to look.

Caught this sunset pictures off the balcony of our cabin in the mountains. As is typical with the Smokey’s, the natural haze really set this shot up for me. It’s hard to take a bad sunset pictures in those mountains. Simply wait till the light is waning and click in the direction of the color — Mother Nature has taken care of the rest.

Caught this shot of the Broad River as it snakes along near Chimney Rock. Crouching near the river with my telephoto lens, I was able to grab this shot.

Caught this shot after hiking up out of the Moonshiners’ Cave at Chimney Rock. I think this is a Five-lined Skink (Eumeces fasciatus) eating a tiny spider. As we hiked up, he froze and I was able to catch this snapshot before he darted away.

Another shot from our trip to the Chimney Rock park. This time, the subject is Hickory Nut Falls. Though the falls weren’t a torrent on this day, the site is still beautiful and the geological forces at work here are
staggering.

A shot from the top of Chimney Rock in North Carolina. It was incredibly hot and humid the weekend we were in the region, so this hike was made early on our last morning in town. A beautiful park and a place we’ll return to whenever we can.
