Stop and Smell the Daisies
A young bull elk (Cervus Canadensis) pauses eating his breakfast long enough to smell the beautiful daisies in the golden light of dawn in the Cataloochee Valley area of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Elk once roamed the southern Appalachian mountains and elsewhere in the eastern United States. They were eliminated from the region by over-hunting and loss of habitat. The last elk in North Carolina was believed to have been killed in the late 1700s. In Tennessee, the last elk was killed in the mid-1800s. By 1900, the population of elk in North America dropped to the point that hunting groups and other conservation organizations became concerned the species was headed for extinction.

Reintroduction of elk into Great Smoky Mountains National Park began in 2001 when 25 elk were brought from the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area along the Tennessee-Kentucky border.

The world is such a beautiful place - traveling our country and photographing the many stunning and unique sights is my passion. From the pinnacles of The Badlands to the tiniest flower in my own backyard, my goal is to present the diverse grandeur of both the natural and manmade worlds for your enjoyment.
