Bells Bend Park...I got lost!

What a beautiful weekend we have had here in Tennessee! 

Yesterday morn, I was awakened by a cute little cardinal siting outside my window whistling, "Wake up Scott, come and take my picture".

As much as I wanted to sleep, I got up and went outside.  I did sleep in though, I did not get up until 5:00!



At that point, I knew I needed to go somewhere, I just did not know where!  Then I remembered all the hoopla on TV this week about Bells Bend and the Maytown community!  So off I went, with camera and protein coffee in hand.

When I found the park, the sun had not yet risen.  Fog covered the area, and I thought the morning would be a total waste!  Little did I know!



The sun finally rose and I could see the dew on the spiderwebs.  What a magical experience!  Majestic is the only word I could use to describe what was surrounding me!



To be surrounded by a symphony of praise from the areas inhabitants was refreshing!  No one was worried about weight loss or regain.  No one was complaining about their fellow co-workers.  No one was complaining period.  Well, maybe this one guy who found me intruding on his domain.



I guess the best thing that came out of yesterday was the refreshing spirit that only nature can bring. 

Oh yeah, I did get lost and my trusty pedometer said I walked 4.5 miles over the hills and through the woods to grandmothers house I go!  I definitly could not do that a year and a half ago!

Too funny!  The only ride I went on this weekend, was the ride to pick up Calamine Lotion for the chigger bites!

 OMG, Scott, the pictures are GORGEOUS!

You should get lost more often!  

I love the bird shots--all I have in my yard are finches and barn swallows with the occasional cardinal, mockingbird and bluebird.  So it's nice to see such a glorious variety of birds.  I love how some of the finch-y looking birds in your pictures had their yappers wide open!  

Keep up the great photography and thanks for sharing!

HUGS!!!!

Hi Scott,

The photos are just beautiful. The one of the spider web is my favorite. That is so cool.

I am glad you had a good day…. Hope your week is even better.
