There are several kilometers of rapids in the Niagara River below the waterfalls. This particular picture was taken at White Water Walk on the river below the falls.

This is a sample of some of the autumn color Betsy and I found on the Cherohala Skyway as we made our way home from Maggie Valley, North Carolina, this past Sunday. The colors were absolutely gorgeous.

The Deep Creek Campground of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is near Bryson City, North Carolina. This part of the park is not as heavily visited as the Tennessee side, but it does have its attractions. One is Indian Creek Falls, which is found by hiking up Deep Creek along a very pleasant trail.

Maggie Valley Sky

The picture above was taken last week at the cabin Betsy and her childhood friends rented in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. The color of the leaves were somewhat muted, but the blue sky was absolutely gorgeous.

I've shown several pictures of Fort George, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada, in this blog. This picture shows the British flag flying above the wall of the fort.

Autumn Color in the Glade

(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)

The rain and cooler weather of the past week have really helped the colors to pop out. I was out splitting wood last week and looked up to see these red leaves against the blue sky. I just had to put down my axe and grab my camera.

Although the roses in our yard are winding down for the year, there are still a few that I haven't shared with you. This pink beauty is Melody Parfumee. What I can't share with you is the delightful fragrance of this rose.
