What do bees do in the winter?
In temperate areas, winter is the hardest time for insects to survive. Low temperatures, infrequent water and scarce food all combine in winter to make it simply unlivable for the vast majority of insects.

To me everything seems different in the Smokies. So I was thinking of how the moon shines on those mountains and I decided to write a poem about the different full moon names. Anyway here is the poem:
Moon O’er Gatlinburg
Wolf moon o’er Gatlinburg
Emitting an eerie glow
Snow moon o’er Gatlinburg
As the cold winter winds blow
Worm moon o’er Gatlinburg
Beaming on the thawing ground
Pink moon o’er Gatlinburg
As spring colors burst all around
Flower moon o’er Gatlinburg
Signaling the month of May
Strawberry moon o’er Gatlinburg
As summer moves in to stay
Buck moon o’er Gatlinburg
Winking while new antlers sprout
Harvest moon o’er Gatlinburg
As summer slowly bows out
Beaver moon o’er Gatlinburg
Gleaming with longer chilly nights
Cold moon o’er Gatlinburg
As ice and snow cover the heights
Blue moon o’er Gatlinburg
Seemingly shining out of place
Black moon o’er Gatlinburg
Unwilling to uncover its face.

Cubbie Cuteness Overload.
After the threat of that big male when he came through and left the area the mama and her 2 cubs settled down. The cubs went back to normal playing in the tree, this cute cub was a ham and having a ball on this limb seemingly posing for every shot that I was taking. Its sibling was above it out on a limb while mom stayed below but eventually climbed the same tree and stood on the same limb (I will post images of that later on) that this cub was on. Then this bear family finally settled down for a nap in the tree. More images and story to come.
Remember if you have the joy of seeing a new bear and/or any bear family, watch and photograph at a safe distance with the correct camera gear and proper zoom lens as to not disturb, harass and or change their behavior in any way and show them the utmost respect as they are wild animals and we are the visitors in their home.
These photos were taken at an undisclosed location to protect the bears, and other wildlife that live there.

Bear Cub on Point!
I was photographing a mama bear and her 2 cubs in late spring and all of a sudden mom went on high alert, she then sent her cubs which was 5 months old at the time up this safety tree and then sat at the base of it guarding them from any danger. This little male cub went out on a limb seemingly standing on point to watch for any danger.
Danger there was as all of a sudden a huge 500lb male appeared up the ridge from them, it was still breeding season and the males were out looking for mates. The male will kill small cubs if they can so mom will come back in season to breed again. Thankfully mama let off a few warning sounds, slapped the ground a few times and the male bear took the warning and moved on up the ridge away from them. I will post a few images of that big male in a few days.
Remember if you have the joy of seeing a new bear and/or any bear family, watch and photograph at a safe distance with the correct camera gear and proper zoom lens as to not disturb, harass and or change their behavior in any way and show them the utmost respect as they are wild animals and we are the visitors in their home.
