My Favorite Waterfall Hunter

(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.  Clicking a second time will make it full-sized.)

Betsy and I did some hiking and waterfall-hunting around Cashiers, North Carolina, earlier this week.  One of the places we visited was Glen Falls, near Highlands.  It was foggy and drizzling when we hiked to the base of the first drop, where I got this picture of my Beautiful Bride.

Lower Falls at Hocking Hills

Betsy and I had to find a new way to get to Hocking Hill’s Lower Falls.  There was so much ice in Old Man’s Cave that we couldn’t use that route to the falls.  It took some doing to get down to the falls, but I think the view was definitely worth it.

Waterfalls and Icicles

Waterfalls and icicles often go together in February.  I got this picture, from my archives, of icicles formed by spray from Blue Hole Falls near Elizabethton, Tennessee.

Northrup Falls

January is a good time for visiting waterfalls.  I got this photo of the base of Northrup Falls several years ago.  If you look to the left of the falling water you can see Betsy standing behind the falls.

Beautiful Sky, Beautiful Snow

A snowstorm usually means gray, overcast skies.  But the day after a snowstorm can be sunny and bright.  We got five inches of snow last Wednesday (February 12), but the next morning featured a bright blue sky and sunshine.  That made the snow clinging to the trees and on the ground look even more beautiful.

This photo was taken from our front yard on February 13, 2014.

Sunset on the Cumberland Plateau

Late autumn sunsets can be beautiful here on the Cumberland Plateau.  The bright red glow in the sky to the west appeared after the sun had dropped below the plateau to the west.  God's colors are gorgeous.

This picture, from my archives, was taken on a clear November evening.

Conservatory Foliage

When Betsy and I visit the Conservatory at Biltmore House and Gardens in Asheville, North Carolina, we usually pay a lot of attention to the beautiful blossoms, but the foliage can be beautiful as well.  I got this photo on a January, 2013, visit to Biltmore.
