My wife and I stopped for a picnic in the Great Smoky Mountains. Surprisingly, a family of bears strolled right through our picnic area. Such a cool experience with these beautiful animals! #wildlifephotography #naturelovers #naturephotography #mammals #blackbears

After several years of trying, hummingbirds are finally very active around my feeders. Lots of fun to watch as well as great camera therapy to catch shots of these little guys in flight. #wildlifephotography #naturelovers #naturephotography #birds #hummingbird

From a distance a deer is watching a visitor at a civil war battlefield. The visitor is looking at a cannon without noticing the deer.

A local civil war battlefield...the visitors check out the cannons while the wildlife check out the visitors #wildlifephotography #naturelovers #naturephotography #mammals #deer

Wow, thank you for sharing! I think these are both amazing. I barely have the artistic talent to draw a stick man...I wish I could produce something like this.
