A banana tree after a good rain.

A lovely stream a few miles away from Cades Cove, Tennessee.

This is a lovely farm down the road from my home in Holly Springs, North Carolina.

A train in the small town of Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. Nikon D100 w/ Nikon 18-200mm AF-S ED-IF VRII 1/80th @ f/11.

Nikon D200 w/ Nikon 18-200mm Tripod mounted f/16, 1/3 second ISO 100 shot in RAW Harris Lake is near Raleigh, North Carolina. It was below freezing that morning.

Or more affectionately known as "Mike's Vinyard". To the Vintner the broken arbor was a hassle, to the photographer it made the scene perfect. I shot this image using a tripod mounted Nikon D100 with a SB-80DX speedlight remotely fired under the arbor. My lens was a Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX lens. 1/2 sec @ f/8. I do hope you enjoy this as well as my other images posted here.

This is a beautiful waterfall in eastern Tennessee. Enjoy!!

A white heron captured against a dark background. I enhanced the contrast in PS and tweaked the color and sharpness a little. Enjoy! Tom Leonard II.
