A Surprise Find in the Cove..We were walking in the very thick tall weeds and blackberries looking for critters down by Abrams creek and came across these beautiful flowers that I have never seen in the cove before.The Flower is called a Canada Lily, it is a magnificent tall woodland lily, and grows wild in damp meadows and thickets. The flowers are usually yellow, but may instead be orange or red, as illustrated in this photo. The Canada Lily is an erect native perennial lily growing a single green, usually smooth, stem from 1 to 4 feet high. The stem is unbranched below the inflorescence The flowers are hanging downward (pendant), not fragrant, with the flower stalks longest at the base of the raceme creating a pyramid shape when there are many flowers. The perianth of the flower is a bell shape with 3 sepals and 3 petals that look the same (commonly called 'tepals') and as the flower opens the tips flare outward curving backward a little.Photo shot in Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park.For more of our work check out and like our photo page https://www.facebook.com/JandGPhotosLikes, comments and shares are welcomed, but please do not alter the photos (crop the border and our copyright) and use it as your own.

"Eye of Moore Cove Falls"The hike to this waterfall is one that my 2 1/2 year old grandson could manage. I used a fisheye lens to get the whole arch into the picture. The scene is a bit distorted because of the lens, but I like it. The fisheye lens is one of my fun ones. You can see my wife, daughter and grandson on the right. They help to add a sense of scale to the scene. — with Lisa Malcolm and Rebecca Underwood.
