I'm trying to catch up on photo albums (this makes me only five months behind)...
Here's a link to some photos Jeane and I took during our annual Memorial Day visit to the Smokies:
http://photos.bellhanley.com/Weekend-Fun/Smokies-2011There's only one bird, but there are several nice wildflowers. We have a favorite trail there that we hike on almost every trip; a bonus is that there is a cliffside Peregrine scrape. We heard those lovely Peregrine voices for much of our hike, and got several nice air shows by a newly fledged juvenile sailing out to meet an incoming adult. No photos, however. The nest isn't visible from the trail (it's way up on a cliff that is blocked by a rock overhang, and I was too busy gawking during the air shows to get my camera out.
No snacks necessary; this is a fairly short album by my standards.
