...on the road again....
space, sky and lots of scenery...in fact unbelievable scenery, some to take your breath away.
I've felt incredibly priviledged to have witnessed nature's magnificence....
Long straight roads that stretch for miles....
but then there's so much to stop and see along the way....
Take for instance...
Erskine Falls (
The offical photographer busy at work...
with so much to see on the descent...
But with a few hazards to watch out for on the way down....
.jpg)
But then the rewards....
Misty ferns....cool freshness....incredible bird song...peace...plus cascading crisp clear water.
You cannot help but stop and stare in wonder....
...even believing perhaps that you have travelled back in time thousands of years...
Falling from a height of thirty metres...
continually moist from the fine mist of water dancing over the rock face.
It has inspired thousands of nature lovers over the decades.
Even the
poet and novelist Rudyard Kipling wrote of buying a frond of fern
“gathered where the Erskine leaps down the road to Lorne”.
Who knows, it might have come from this same plant?
As we started to climb back up into the present...the heavens opened and the rains came down...
timed to perfection ;D
The waterfalls are amazing I wish I could hear, smell etc besides just seeing these.
ReplyDeleteNow wouldn't that be great if I had like a scratch and sniff button. Why didn't I think to video it and then you could have heard it too!
DeleteSorry...if I go back I'll make sure I do the whole kit and caboodle next time! ;D
Have a great week and thanks for popping by my place :D
WOW! Gorgeous pictures, the waterfall was stunning! My favorite was the warning sign, did any trees fall while you were there? I've never seen a tree falling on you warning before! lol But seriously, beautiful pictures! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sandee,
DeleteThankfully no trees fell whilst we were there although some look very precariously positioned. We all had a good laugh at that warning sign...that's one hellova tree compared to the man!
I'm glad you liked the post and thanks for popping over...I'll hopefully be able to visit you soon ;D
Have a great week...with lots of creativity! xoxo
Ferns and waterfalls...ahhh! That looks like paradise to me. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it has been a very special place for a very long time Rita,

What a beautiful location. I'll bet your are finding lots of drawing and painting inspiration there.
ReplyDeleteDarla
We did gather an incredible amount of inspiration Darla, but now will be the hard task of finding the time to use that inspiration.
DeleteIt was a very special place ~ so beautiful you just had to stand and admire the wonder.
Have a great weekend whatever you're up to...have fun :D
