We went to North Carolina and Virginia at the end of last month and drove all around the state. We went to Waynesville, Asheville, Greensboro and Chapel Hill in North Carolina and Richmond in Virginia. We spent only a night in each place. We've both been to the 2 states before, but some of the cities we went to were different. We also stopped at Disneyworld for a night on the way home. We love Disney. 
Here are some pictures. These are of Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee. Some of the pictures are some animals we saw; we saw turkeys and deer. We also saw what looked like a wolf, but I didn't think there were wolves in that area. Not sure what animal it was.
Newcastle, OntarioWhere do I go to see the pictures, Chrissie? Hugs Brenda
OOPs! Silly me - I guess I didn't wait long enough for all of them to load - I see them now and the scenery is gorgeous. We've been though both of those states and the scenery really is lovely AND we love Disney too! Nice holiday for you both - hope you enjoyed it.

GORGEOUS!! Thank you for sharing them with us, Chrissie!

I feel like I should be seeing a whisky bottle with all those turkeys!! 
You're correct about it being a 'wolf'...that's a coyote, also known as a 'brush wolf' 
Thank you for sharing the pics...it looks like it was a wonderful roadtrip :hug:
Very lovely photos Chrissie.. thanks for sharing with us.
Glad that we are able to have a peek into places, on your road trip.

Totally gorgeous Chrissie, I know how you would think that was a wolf - we had the same experience in Canada (Banff) last year on holiday - I thought I saw a young wolf but think he was a coyote! I'll try and find a photo I took and attach with this, to see if you think it was the same as you saw. Very exciting to see in the wild 
Thanks for sharing those beautiful photos with us

Glad to know it was a coyote! I saw a coyote years ago when I was in one of the national parks out west (I want to say Yellowstone, but I can't remember), and I've never seen a wolf in the wild so I should've guessed a coyote instead. Thanks everyone. And thanks for the picture, Catherine.
Past Time BearsWe have coyotes up close and personal. Because of the draught here, the wildlife is coming into the neighborhoods looking for water. Three days ago, I was sitting at my sewing machine, looked up to see a large, thin coyote looking at me from the back yard. We just stared at each other for a second, then he trotted off into the back woods. Yikes!!! I ran around the house checking to see that all of the cats were inside . . . and they were, thank goodness! Then yesterday, Paul saw one two houses down, just trotting down the street. I love all animals, but these guys I could stand being a little further away!
Newcastle, OntarioSue Ann, I love wildlife too, but it is a little unnerving when they can eat your family pets! As I mentioned in another post, we have Fishers and they think cats are appetizers!
Hugs,
Brenda
