Fun Weekend in the Smokies!

This weekend we went out into the Smoky Mountains to go camping and for a mini vacation with some close friends.

I'll be blogging on that later, and on all the fun and activities, but here are a few nature shots for the mean-time.

For the first time, outside of a zoo, I saw a Hellbender. These are an amazing, ancient and primitive creature. It was crawling out in the water about 8-9 feet from us and I noticed it and grabbed my camera. It was about 2+feet long! I swear this might be the biggest moment of the weekend for me!


Here are a few other photos of the beauty of the Smokies.
