Welcome to Bill Moellendick Photography!

See the Blue Ridge Mountains and the South Carolina Coast Through the Lens of my Camera

I love the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Coastal areas of the Carolinas. Landscapes, flowers, birds, elk and bear in these areas offer an endless supply of subjects. Join me as I celebrate the diversity that exist here as I make new discoveries one photo at a time.

Huge Lone trees are a special part of Cades Cove. I love them in the early spring before their summer foliage conceals the wonderful architecture of their branches. Here are three of the stately old guardians of the fields.

Small lanes through Cades Cove provide a feast for the eyes and a calmness for the soul.
