I’m back in Bethesda from a fantastic photo trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park – and unfortunately I came down with a case of shingles when I got home – so I haven’t had a chance to do any editing of my photos since I got home. So I thought I’d share some of the photos I did some quick edits on while I was on the road and shared on Facebook during my trip. Here are a few of the wildflowers I photographed in the Smokies.
