Cruising the Smokies with Nikon and Canon

http://www.facebook.com/Pagansdad

On a early april trip to the Smokies I vowed to return soon for another photographical crack at it. Finally getting the chance to go, what followed was surprising in both the trip itself and, on the last day, the event which led to the images towards the end of this video.

We spent some time this go-round in Cades Cove, Elkmont and hiking some side trails along the way. Sumer proved to be milder than in the last few weeks and it was quite pleasant up on the ridges. Lots of seasonal visitors this time of year but they seem to be spread pretty evenly through out the park so there wasnt any real congestion to speak of. All in all just a relaxing time and some nice memories. I learned some things about photography in the process and the last lesson was the most important and the most special.

Its was well worth the journey and as always I left wishing I could stay and hoping to return again soon.

Hope my viewers are finding the image and vid quality greatly improved from years gone by, and as always thanks for watching and subscribing!
