Blue Ridge Country

It is no secret I love the mountains and spend as much time as I can up there. The beach is nice, but for me there is nothing better than waking up to a cool mountain morning and experiencing the beauty the good Lord offers to us if we are willing to stop and look. I call this my time to have “breakfast with the Lord”.

That is just what happened this morning when I was able to capture this image of the horses eating in the early morning light at Cades Cove in Tenn. I was camping with a friend and we got up to be in the cove at the earliest light. We were treated to a wonderful experience we both will remember forever.

I wish each of you could have been there, but the next best thing has happened. The magazine Blue Ridge Country (http://www.blueridgecountry.com/) has used the image in their July/August issue. This is their twentieth anniversary issue and covers some of my favorite locations, including one of my very favorites Grandfather Mtn. Above is the screen to Blue Ridge Country’s home page on their website. When I first saw the image in the magazine it stopped me. They did a wonderful job with the layout. It is an additional honor to be on their home page of their website for this issue. Please take time to check out their website and pick up a copy of the magazine. It is really a great magazine to read about our wonderful mountains.

I hope one day you can join me out there on the trail and maybe we can even have breakfast with the Lord together. Until then take care and take a moment and stop and look for the beauty around us.

Update on Megan Elizabeth

Just a quick note tonight with an update on Megan Elizabeth. I spoke with a friend of Melissa’s and they have taken little Megan off the ventilator. It is just taking some time now for her to continue to grow and get stronger as she gets ready to go home. Mommy and baby are doing much better.

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts and thank you Dear Lord for your wonderful love.

May God bless you all,
Denise

Ironman

Recently I had the chance to photograph a friend during one of his “Ironman” training sessions. Butch Mabry is a local tri-athlete and is preparing for an upcoming event in South Carolina.

I think I will stick to cheering Butch on and leave the long distance stuff to him. Trying to keep up with him wore me out.

Good luck, Butch!

Here is Butch on his Javelin bike and it is really cool.

Welcome little Megan Elizabeth – Special Prayer Request

Last weekend I had the pleasure of creating some beautiful motherhood portraits of Melissa. This morning I get a call from her and Megan Elizabeth was born last night. Melissa is doing fine, but Megan Elizabeth was premature and is on a ventilator. I strongly believe in the power of prayer, so I am asking that you take a moment and say a pray for little Megan Elizabeth and keep her in your thoughts over the next couple of weeks.

I am so glad we were able to do the session last Saturday and I a, excited to meet Megan Elizabeth in person. Sounds like she is going to be a lot like her mom (lol); she just could not wait to enter this world.

Take care little Megan Elizabeth and welcome.
Denise
