No matter which direction you travel (Great Smoky Mountains National Park)
No matter which direction you travel from where are were to here
Immerse yourself in the colors of the world around you
Smell the fragrances the wind blows about
Hear the symphony of birds and things that fly around
Take a step forward and know everyone greets you with a fine hello
And smile back that graciousness in gratitude for a life lived that moment
Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in the Cades Cove area of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This was at a roadside pullout around the Whistling Branch Overlook to black bear that was eating here and there while crossing this grassy meadow. The setting is looking to the north-northeast with Cades Cove Mountain, Double Mountain, and Cerulean Knob as a distant mountain backdrop. In a few images that I captured at this location, I did zoom in with the focal length, but here I wanted to pull back and include some of the national parks surrounding landscape that I felt only added to the wonderment of nature here.
The rest was later making adjustments with control points in DxO PhotoLab 7 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
