Photo Opportunities

Photo Friday on Channel 3 Eyewitness News Today this morning. And once again we have a couple of great shots to share with you. The top picture was sent in by Mark Barnhardt of Dalton, GA. It was taken about 30 minutes north of Cherokee, NC on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The bottom picture was snapped at this year's Chattanooga Airshow by Ricky Mundy. Make sure you click on both to see them full-sized. They are both awesome. Thanks Mark and Ricky for sending them.
It was a picture perfect Thanksgiving Day. We loaded up the car and headed up to Cloudland Canyon for a turkey day stroll. Quite a few others had the same idea, hiking and snapping a few pictures.
This weekend a couple of other photo ops are on the menu. Look for a big crowd and some nice shots of the events at the Grand Illumination tonight. The lighted boat parade will pass by Ross's Landing around 7 pm this evening, followed by music and the fireworks around 9 pm. Nature lovers should have a photo op once again at the Hiawassee Wildlife Refuge in Meigs County near Birchwood. The ultra-light led whooping cranes could take off from Cumberland County today. Yesterday the winds were just to strong to make it over the Cumberland Plateau, so they spent Thanksgiving Day resting.

If they make it, tomorrow would be fine weather for snapping some pictures of these beautiful birds.
Then our Kodak moments end weather wise. A showery picture developing for Sunday. Scattered storms on Monday as temps warm into the upper 60s. Some showers or storms may be in the picture on Tuesday as well.
Have a great weekend!
