Animal Portraits – Eye of the Elephant

Photographers shoot portraits of people. Something unusual for us: converting images of animals into portraits.

My favorite animal is an elephant. The Eye of the Elephant is “part adventure story, part wildlife tale,” recounting the struggle to save these innocent animals from decimation, a journey to cultivate support around the globe for the protection of elephants

Grandfather Vineyard and Winery

Grandfather Vineyard and Winery produces a variety of wines in a relaxing setting beside the Watauga River near the base of Grandfather Mountain. Adirondack chairs line the Watauga River that runs alongside the property.

The vineyard grows Vitis vinifera grapes, which thrive on the terraced land with warm days and cool nights.

Mast General Store

The original Mast General Store is not only a great place to shop, but it’s also a fun trip back in time. It’s only 10 miles from the entrance to Sugar Mountain in the scenic Valle Crucis area. Find an amazing mix of modern goods and old-fashioned toys and candies you haven’t seen in years. It’s a browser’s paradise, with creaking wood floors and a fantastic place to find unique gifts.

We end the series of images of Silver Creek Plantation, near Morganton, North Carolina, with a monochrome version of the mountains over the community. The white-roofed home is striking.
