I would like to add a beautiful falls just out of Tellico Plains called Bald River Falls. It is one of the most spectacular in the area and there probably won't be a large crowd. You have been given some great places to visit. For sure don't miss Cades Cove. Abrams Falls is at the back of the loop with a short hike to it. You should bring lots of "film".

I am enjoying this post. Here are a couple shots that I shoot for our local animal shelter. Not only are they fun to shoot they help get these little fellows adopted.

How big is that cat and his age? Where is the shelter located? About 12 years ago i went to the local shelter and there was a cat that looked just like this on. There was a sign on his cage that said “ mature cat with a attitude” I asked if i could hold him, they said i could try he won’t let anyone near him.. I opened the door, he stood up and walked to me, i reached in and picked him up, held him on my shoulder, i told the lady I want this cat..she said he wants you too. “Ruffus” and i spent 12 years together, he did have Main Coon blood in him…the best damn cat that ever owned me…
Thanx for the photo, great..thanx,
George

The shelter is located in Cookeville TN. At this time we have over 45 kitties. This little fellow really wasn't so bad. I fell that he will be a great cat. He has been under the weather and every time someone comes to his cage they have a treatment for him so he thought that was what I was there for. I know what a threatening kitty is and this kitty isn't one.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Photography has been a love of mine for over 60 years. In retirement we are glad that we can do some good in getting our shelter kitties adopted.

2Dragons you and heatbonn are both correct regarding the eyes. This fellow was on edge but he did allow me to work with him. Yes you do have to work with what the animals give you with a lot of anticipation. You can't have a camera that lags when the shutter is pressed.

My wife and I volunteer at our local shelter to work with the kitties. Since I have been shooting photos for over 60 years, I thought that maybe I could help the kitties get adopted by making pictures of them and post them on facebook. "Shooting kitties" has been great fun and bloody for me(at times). There have been some very interesting shots over the past 7 years. This one, this week, really caught my attention. I surprised this fellow and he wasn't ready for his portrait. Thus he tried to inform me to go way. I didn't take him seriously but I still wanted to show his surprise. These two shots are of the same fellow 2 minutes apart with a few calming words between them. These were shot with Nikon Z6 II and kit lens.

That is a nice set of photos. Can you tell me if this was the old Cabin Crafts mill there?

Shooting cat's photos is great fun. It looks like you have one that completely enjoys your company. I do photos of our animal shelters cats each week. It is really fun and challenging.

There is a community just a short distance from Pickett called Rugby. This community was an experimental community in the late 1800's. The architecture is very interesting and they have tours.

The Twin Arches and Charit Creek lodge(similar to LeConte). Lots of great trails. If you are hiker, Honey Creek trail is beautiful(6 mile loop). Pogue is well worth the trip. Again if you are into hiking, ajoining Pickett is Hidden Passage trail(10 mile loop). There is an area just south of Pickett that is called a dark area. Great for astro photography.

Great pix. I volunteer at a feline shelter in PNW and know how difficult it can be to get a good photo of a kitty. But photos are an important part of the promotion. Our shelter, because of the shutdown, has not been open to the public since March, but we have had great success promoting with Facebook and Instagram, and through our own website using Adopet software in conjunction with Petfinder. A good photo, as they say, is worth a thousand words. Thank you for the work you do and the blood you have shed.

I am so sorry your shelter isn't open. We have changed our hours and only have people come by appointment only. This has really helped, since all of those that get appointments have a real interest in adopting. Our shelter uses Petfinder also. It is such a great feeling when someone comes in and pull out the phone to show a picture of the kitty they are interested in. There isn't enough blood to be that much of a discouragement. We really love working with the kitties.
