I am sharing some of our birds, critters and scenes from the Great Smoky Mountains Nat'l Park for Green Day and Camera Critters
This post takes me and you back to the Great Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park to see some critters there. As I said in a previous post most of the birds in the Smoky Mountains were camera shy. Except for these chickens, I guess chickens are still in the bird family. We also saw bears and elk.

The chickens were seen at the homestead at the Cherokee Visitor center.

This is the Mingus Mill not far from the Cherokee visitor center in the Great Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park.

This bear was seen on the Roaring Fork Motor Drive.

This was a bear we saw along the Skyline Drive on the way home, we were in the southern most part of Shenandoah Nat'l Park. Seeing the bears is exciting to me and they are one of my favorite critters. I maybe be putting a post on my travel blog on the Smokies and Gatlingburg so for now I am done with the Smoky photos. I hope you enjoyed my critters.

Beauties, all!
These are all great, Eileen! I especially like the bear and the old mill.

Como sempre você nos trás lindas imagens.
Gostaria de criar galinhas. Um de meus projetos futuros.
Quanta emoção num só post. Que lindo esse urso. Apesar de grande, é tão gracioso que não dá medo.

A BEAR - would I be afraid of that meeting.
Ever present is there anyone who may have seen a wolf in Thy National Park .... wolves we have not in Denmark only in ZOO.
Wish you a good weekend :)

Awesome elk shots, and I love that bear shot with the people in the background... So cool!!
Great Elk shots Eileeen but i was a bit worried about those folks seeming so close to that bear, not to mention your good self. I know e all like a good photograph but are they not a liitle dangerous? Have a great weekend with your camera.
The Great Smokies are such a gorgeous area. Loved seeing all the critters and I think the bear is my favorite, too! Although the Mingus Mill short is gorgeous. Happy Critter Day!
Admire your shots, Eileen -especially the bear close up!

This looks like a most wonderful area to visit. The photograph with the elk grazing is so very peaceful. Love the chickens and bear, too. That mill image belongs in a travel brochure. Stunning captures, Eileen!

You were sassy when you saw the bear.
What lovely photo's..we have black bears in our backyard from time to time..I have yet to be home when one makes a visit..my hubby was and was too busy working on his car to care to grab my camera..this bear is a beauty! Great photo's..
I love all of your pictures,but the bear...! I would love to see one in the wild!phyllis
Wow, wonderful wildlife sightings, the bear looks so cute, but must be scary to be very close
the critters are great, especially the bears but i sure did love the image of the mill. so pretty!!
This is a lovely visit to Shenandoah NP...we sang Oh, Shenandoah in 5th grade, as a part of American history...what a lovely place.
The elk and bear are big critters to see in the wild, it must have been exciting. Lovely chickens and mill shot too!
I miss seeing hens and oh my, a bear?
Wow Eileen -- that's one of the best bear shots I've ever seen (in the wild)....wonderful!!!!! We went to the Mingus Mill on our trip through the GS -- but didn't see nearly that many 'critters." thanks for sharing!!
Wow wow wow! Beautiful!
Wow, how amazing to get so close to bears!
What a lovely photo of the homestead too.
Great post! LOVE the Elk and Bear photos, and of course the chickens too. lol
Oh wow a bear in real life I have only seen one in a zoo.are they frightening in reality? Have a lively sunday
Wow ... amazing shots! Love them all, but the bear is my favorite critter!
Wish you a great week!

These are great shots. Makes me wish I'm visiting there too.
Great scenes! Love the elk and bear shots.
Some playground you've got...
Very nice pictures!

It's been so long ago that I had forgotten Mingus Mill but it was one of my favorite places to visit as a child on our family vacations. You got some great wildlife shots on your trip.
Great photos - I would not want to be so close to a bear, though!
I enjoyed to follow you to this wonderful place on earth! Great shots!
Love the chicken and the elk! Great photos of a beautiful place! I sure hope that was a huge lens on that camera for the bear picture!
Glad you saw some elk and also a bear while in the Smokies... That is one huge bear though which you saw on Skyline Drive... WOW!!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
