I’ve recently added a new photograph – Cades Cove Stream – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/cadescovestream/
When I visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, I always visit Cades Coves, even though it is often the most crowded area of the park. So I was pleased one morning during a visit a few years ago to spend some time enjoying a quiet peaceful stream. And as I sat there enjoying the view, I was amazed at the number of cars that drove by, never slowing down, much less stopping to enjoy the peaceful stream.

Like many other photographers, I haven’t been out photographing much this spring – something about the stay-at-home orders and a pandemic. So I’ve been going back through some of the thousands of unweeded unedited photos on my hard drive and finding some to edit and share. These were taken a few years ago in my favorite national park – the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Stream along the Motor Nature Trail

In 2017, there was a wonderful exhibit of Chihuly Glass at the New York Botanical Garden. I shared most of my photos from the exhibit a few years ago. I recently came across a few I hadn’t shared so I thought I’d share them with you today.

One of things I love to do in New Orleans is just walk around and listen to the music. Especially it the French Quarter – it seems like there is another set of wonderful musicians playing in the streets around every corner. And sometimes you come across people dancing to the music.
Here are some of my photos of New Orleans Street musicians

On a walk through New Orleans’ Faubourg Marigny neighborhood a few years ago, I found myself photographing the unexpected art I was seeing – whether it was what some might call grafitti to murals to painting around a store entrance. Here are some of my favorite photos from my walk.
