Butterflies at the Cascades

Spring Butterfly at the Cascades
(Cabbage White perhaps?)

If you've ever been on a "butterfly hunt" as I call it.....you knowthat once you get up to these little guys....they usually fly away... and leave you without a shot. Well....this one hung around a little while.

One of my favorites of Spring - Mourning Cloak Butterfly

The Cascades

Taken at the Cascades in the Jefferson National Forest.

During this visit we didn't have time to do the hike - 4 miles round trip....but just

seeing the area leading up to the hiking trail was a real treat.

There is a 69ft water fall at the top.

Looking Up

From a squirrel's perspective :)

I got as close to the tree as I could.....and then looked up....and took the shot.

I liked how the branches looked against the clouds.

Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone.

Relax Refresh Renew

This Canada Goose was on the pond at the Izaak Walton Park 

I thought he was so cute diving under!

Bottom's UP!

And this was as we were leaving. Those lines on the left are the reflections of the trees.

Relax. Refresh. Renew. Play. Sing. Laugh. Enjoy. Forgive. Dance. Love. Hug. Share. Kiss. Create. Explore. Hope. Listen. Dare. Trust. Dream. Learn. TODAY!
