Planning Another Trip

Starting to plan another trip this year for the end of June into early July. Will be looking for this one.

Townsend Tennessee Trip

We stayed at a cabin near Townsend Tennessee and went to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park each day. In Cades Cove we saw a mother bear and her 2 babies up high in a tree.
The weather was mostly overcast and rainy. We did get some sun a couple of times but it didn’t last long. The Diana were all along Little River Road, right next to the river, that leads to Cades Cove. The photos were taken with overcast conditions in a moderate to light rain, yet there they were on the Joe-Pye Weed nectaring just the same.

Female Diana

Great Smoky Mountains Railroad Trip

The Great Smoky Mountains Train trip was a great trip through the North Carolina mountains. We were there in late September, around the 24th. We saw at least 2 dozen female Diana along the 14 miles of railroad on Joe-pye Weed. I attempted to get photos but the moving train didn’t help with that. The scenery was picturesque
