The Smokies

Happy Belated Thanksgiving to everyone! I just got back home from the mountains. The good ol’ Smokies. I have been to these mountains in Tennessee but never had a chance to go through and take pictures of the scenic route. It’s been a long day today. A lot of driving.

7… the number of hours I was in a car.

340… number of miles from my apartment to Knoxville,

and…

43… the total number of SEMI trucks I had to pass before getting home. I don’t like semi-trucks. They are road hogs that take up the entire high-way. But I am home now. All’s well. And I’m exhausted.

 

Enjoy the pictures.

I can’t remember if I have posted about the Carolina Tiger Rescue before but even if I have I think it is worth another post. I love going to this place and plan on volunteering there when I have the chance. There’s something about spending some time with these big and little cats and wondering what they would say if they could tell you their story. These cats all have interesting backgrounds, many of which are sad, and you learn something new every time you visit. I love these animals and can’t wait to go back. My battery died half way through the twilight tour so I don’t have too many pictures but I’ll get some more. I’d love to go there and just sit there and listen to the sounds. It is amazing to hear the lions bellowing and carrying on a conversation with each other.

Black and Whites

There is something about a black and white photo that just takes it to a whole new level of ambiance. You can always have pictures of colors and they can be vibrant and beautiful, but black and white photos are some of the most elegant pictures in the book. Recently went to my niece and nephew’s baptism and although I took hundreds of pictures the black and whites are my favorite.

Baptisms are a big thing in the Romanian community/culture. In a matter of speaking if I were to ask another fellow Romanian what the most momentous occasion in one’s life would be they would either say one of the following.

  • Wedding
  • Birth of a child
  • or Baptism

Granted this isn’t the same for everyone one, both in or out of the Romanian community but these three things are BIG things. Take it from someone who has 4 siblings and 21 nieces and nephews. You start with the Baptism, years later you’ve got the wedding, and then BABIES!
