More This and That from the Woods!

More scenic woods autumn beauty

for you today!

I asked my husband to climb out onto the falls

and remove that log,

but he said no, it was nature's artwork.

Dang.

But, I had to agree with him.

Besides, I love him and didn't want to endanger his well-being.

But I kinda like the falls better with out it....

This was a tiny river flowing below a roadway that we accidently saw

while riding a wood's road:

There is just something peaceful

about a babbling brook

over river rocks:

Boulders along the bright orange riverbanks:

We talked about the glaciers

that formed these rivers

so many many years ago:

Nature really does have a GRAND plan,

doesn't it??:

We loved this huge tree root on the far side of this colorful pond:

BE

the

STREAM:

Let Nature

Wow you today!

U.P. Autumn Waters!

Today,

I decided to continue the U.P. autumn series

by

sharing some of the streams and their waterfalls

that we have visited over the last month.

Splashing water along the river crevices:

Not ONE, not TWO, but three waterfalls along the river! Heaven!:

The top of the golden falls!:

A hidden pocket of tiny falls under the logs:

Rushing river rapids:

Serenity of the river, changing into rapids:

A smooth shelf serving refreshing water:

A river swirl!:

I hope your life is

less like a rapids

and

more like the calm serenity

of a slowly flowing river

today...

if not,

I say:

Find the beauty in the rapids!

At some point,

a river always

calms down again

and flows with serenity.
