🦃 Caught this wild‑tom strutting in Cades Cove (Great Smoky Mountains) this past April… feathers fanned, head colors shifting, doing his full courtship display. Did you know…?

Eastern wild turkeys of the Smokies are known for their powerful gobbles and longest “beards” of any wild‑turkey subspecies, and believe it or not, they can burst‑fly up to 55–60 mph, even though they mostly stay on the ground. 🐦💨

**THANK-fully, they’re protected, wild, and free in the ! Grateful for the park in my backyard, and grateful for all you who love experiencing it all with me. 🙏

Happy Turkey Day!

➡️➡️Swipe to see something you’ve never seen before this year— Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and Mount LeConte surrounded by actual Northern Lights! 🌌🌠

🏔️🌌Best spots to see a night sky in the Smoky Mountains pinned in the comments below 👇👇

But for these particular Northern Lights shots, here’s where I got them in May…

1️⃣2️⃣4️⃣5️⃣8️⃣ Gatlinburg Overlook on Gatlinburg Bypass
3️⃣6️⃣7️⃣ Carlos C. Campbell Overlook on Newfound Gap Rd.

My friends and I noticed the pink and green hues of the night sky on our own that night and had no idea about the geomagnetic storm until about 10:30pm… by the time we’d stopped at both spots in the national park, the colors were beginning to fade 😢

⏳ So friendly reminder if you’re ever trying to see the Northern Lights— the color is harder to see after midnight! 🎨

Still, an unexpected, once-in-a-lifetime experience that left us giddy for days! 🤩

I would have NEVER thought I’d ever see the Northern Lights in Tennessee… and TWICE in one year?!? Unimaginable. Forever grateful for the accidental opportunities!

🌌🪐🔭 And did I mention the Smokies are also great for watching meteor showers, comets, and seeing the Milky Way??
