Below a one hundred feet high waterfall these colorful autumn leaves were found upon the forest floor. I thought I would arrange them on a rock in a way to capture the waterfall and creek at the same time. The various shades and colors of these leaves depict the forest that surrounds the beautiful waterfall.

This coyote has stuck his face down in the snow apparently looking for something. The fur on this wild dog is very thick and full this time of the year. Certainly a coyote’s fur must be thick to keep them warm throughout the winter.

Early Autumn morning at the Mabry Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are a few ducks that like to frequent this pond and seemed they wanted to have the cameras attention this morning. So I needed to wait until they chose to make their way to the shore and let the water settle before attempting a reflective shot such as this.

The beautiful clear water from these mountain stream waterfalls allows the rocks to be seen underneath the surface. The gorgeous landscape scenery all around thrills the hearts of the hikers and fall foliage sight seers passing by these waterfalls.

A beautiful grey white and brown bobcat is walking through the snow during a winter snow storm. This is an amazing looking cat especially in the winter snow. These types of cats are fairly elusive and not normally seen in the forest, as they tend to stay away from people as much as possible.

No wonder these are called the Blue Ridge Mountains. Early in the morning from one of the highest peaks this picture was taken in subdued sunlight thanks to the overcast clouds. This reminded me of our the song AMERICA – “O beautiful for spacious skies,: For amber waves of grain,: For purple mountain majesties: Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee”
