WELL---for us, the ONLY cloudy night of that entire week was the night we just happened to be there. We took our cameras and tripods down to the waterfall --hoping that the skies would clear. But they did not!!!!! We were disappointed ---but know that we will go back and try again sometime when there is another full moon.
Above is a beautiful picture from the brink of the falls... There are several lookout areas near the falls---and of course, we had to check them all out. Below are more pictures!
This one was taken from another overlook. This is a beautiful waterfall --and ALWAYS has water coming over the falls (which is nice)...
WOW--isn't this incredible???? We found this beauty when we went back to the falls the next morning... It's not a moonbow --but is a rainbow... The moonbow looks just like this --but is at night... I was THRILLED to even see this one... Thanks be to God!
A double rainbow just for YOU!!!!! Is this not just wonderful????? I'm ready to go back RIGHT NOW--even if there is no full moon yet this month... ha
WOOOOOOO--- Look at that rock formation... What does it look like to you???? I think it's a big alligator right there in the Cumberland River.... Ya think??????
Finally, a sweet lady took a picture of the two of us at the lower overlook at the waterfall.
Hope you enjoyed my two sets of pictures from Cumberland Falls State Resort Park. We WILL go back---and one day, we'll get pictures of that Moonbow!!!!
Have a wonderful weekend. We didn't get to work on the leaves in the yard yesterday since we had had some rain the night before--and it was much too wet. Hopefully, we will 'tackle' them this weekend... Wanna come and help?????
OH--and it's COLD in Tennessee --and only going to get colder (in the 20's) ... Bye Bye, Roses for 2010.... Sigh!!!!!! See you Monday!!!
Hugs,
You certainly have made my day with these lovely rainbow pictures Betsy. That's a great shot of you and George too. Don't work too hard in those leaves!
ReplyDeleteThe waterfalls reminds me of Niagara Falls! Good to watch them and imagine our stress being washed down & away!
ReplyDeleteJust send me an air ticket and I would gladly rake all your leaves while working as your butler for food too!
Hi Betsy,
ReplyDeleteI can say..they all gorgeous!
although I still wondering about the MOONBOW... hope next time you will definitely show it here...hehe...
And the rainbow on the river was so incredible! I can't believe that natural beauty ... rainbow usually appear in the sky.. not like that...
but I Love it..love it...love it!!!
Thanks Betsy, I'm glad could following your wonderful journey to many wonderful places in this earth..
hugs,
nensa
Wow that rainbow sure is something special. Great shot. The waterfall is so big it must have a thundery noise. bad luck about the clouds and the moonbow, hopefully next time you'll catch it. You make a great couple.
ReplyDeletewhoooo hooo! double rainbow makes up for no moonbow. and i like that rock formation. truly a wonderful spot to spend a few days of enjoying God's creation.
ReplyDeleteThose rainbows remind me of God;s promise of better things to come.Thanks for these gorgeous pictures.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
I have been to Cumberland a few times, but never got the lovely photos that you have and never heard of a Moonbow. Now I have a new project!
ReplyDeleteLovely waterfall Betsy!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had half the energy that you have to keep going and doing all the things you do!!!
Great shots of the falls and rainbows. We were just up your way Wed on a quick trip up to Ft Knox, Ky - I went up thru Jamestown, but it's too curvy to be my regular route. Hoped to see some pretty country but it was rainy and foggy the whole trip. Gotta go winterize the boatdock today for the first freeze tonight.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and post. You two have way too much fun. I love it.
ReplyDeleteLove the rainbow, how lucky you were to see it and that does look like an alligator!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your adventures of places I've never been.
Have a great weekend and don't work too hard!
☼ Sunny
Betsy, these are great pictures! The falls and and the rainbow are gorgeous! I want to go there!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the rainbows but you got me curious about the elusive moonbow so I had to google it. Wow, they are awesome--did not know they exhisted.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.
How interesting! NO - I had never heard whether there be such thing as a "moonbow". Now you've made me want to visit that place and see it for myself. Great pictures of the rainbow and double rainbow.
ReplyDeleteGod blessed you with those two rainbows the next day. He knew HE would get the glory through your blogs so gave you something to show off. Same here with the leaves. They got cleared off the driveway and decks but the yard will have to wait. Even the cats have noticed the weather change and have begun hibernation mode!
ReplyDeleteoh Betsy, you really got some good shots. Love that rainbow! I would have been thrilled myself. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat waterfall is gorgeous from each of its overlooks! It's cold up here too, expecting snow tomorrow! I'm going to have a busy weekend. I am photographing a wedding!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular pictures! I LOVE the rainbow and the green water is pretty too. Moonbow sounds fascinating, maybe next time you and George will see one. Enjoy your weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, Betsy!
ReplyDeletePretty place!
Yes, getting cold here! Jill was just screaming to come in, I didn't realize it's raining - have a real gray day of drear, I am afraid. UGH!
YeeHaw ... waterfalls and rainbows ... perfect!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Betsy. Gorgeous waterfall there and the rainbows were a bonus. How nice. Great photos - I felt like I could almost reach into the computer and touch. Have a good weekend and build a good warm fire. Cold here too.
ReplyDeleteI have GOT to see a moonbow. Another thing to add to my bucket list!!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent pictures Betsy!
ReplyDeleteBrrrrr..... in the 20's does sound cold.
Hi betsy
ReplyDeleteThe double rainbiow is so beautiful and I love that photo of you and George at the lower falls! You should have that printed up and framed!
♥ Pat
Who needs a moonbow when you've shown us THIS?? Wow! That big rainbow - so low to the ground, and you can see almost the whole thing. Then the double one on the water!! Spectacular! What a great way to start off my day! That waterfall is so wide it looks like a dam! I did read your posts that I missed, and I love that shadow on Rich Mountain. Oh, I spy those windy, windy sterps up that observation tower!! Just what I need to see after the vertigo! Was that how you and George went up??? Gads, Betsy!! And I do like that you told us what that steam in the distance is, I noticed it right away and would have asked, you know me!!!
ReplyDeleteYou blog is truly appropriately named! I always feel joy when I visit. That double rainbow is amazing. I've only seen one, many years ago, but am still awed by the memory.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.
Best,
Bonnie
Thanks for sharing all your wonderful pictures with us!
ReplyDeleteI just know one day you'll get a great shot of a moonbow!
ReplyDeleteThe rainbows are incredible, however.
And the rock DOES look like an alligator!!!
I like your waterfall photos, and the rainbow is special. Also the "alligator" rock in the river.
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful Falls, Betsy. I am so glad you got to capture a rainbow. The moonbow is just waiting for you at another time. See, that's how they get you to come back. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend. MB
The rock formation is strange and unique. The more I stare at the picture, more shapes emerging from it.
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.
The first time I saw a moonbow here was by Kelly at Red and Peanut. I guess they get quite a few people here for it. I would love the photo, but like sunset and sunrises Mother Nature fools us.I had fun going through your blog so will come along and follow you.
ReplyDeleteThe falls are gorgeous..and I LOVE that rainbow!!!
ReplyDeleteYikes, I think some of my gators made their way up there, so be careful. :)
Enjoy your cold weekend. It has cooled off here and I LOVE it!!!
Are you serious about the moonbow? I've never heard of it before. And you can only find one in a few places in the world? How cool is it that Cumberland Falls is one of those places!!!
ReplyDeleteYou really took some beautiful photos of the falls & also the rainbows!!!
That island should be named 'Gator Island'! Heheheee!
That's a great pic that sweet lady took of ya'll - I bet you guys have never ever met a stranger, have ya!???!!! LoL!
Beautiful. Love the rainbows around the falls.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rainbows Betsy. Do you think the moonbow would photograph? Diane
ReplyDeleteI have indeed enjoyed the photographs. Have a lovely weekend and stay warm. Good thing George got all that firewood ready.
ReplyDeleteIn the 20's . . . oh, my! It got winter really fast there, didn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe rainbows are amazing! Don't you love those unexpected "God sightings"?! Great photos!
Have a warm, wonderful weekend!
You're always ready to go aren't you? :) Cumberland Falls are pretty falls. I think we've always seen a rainbow when we visited the falls.
ReplyDeleteThanks Betsy, I needed a couple of rainbows today!!!
ReplyDeleteLook at that beautiful rainbow Betsy ~ how fantastic! The cooler temperatures can not be avoided I am afraid. Oh well... what can you do?
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific weekend!
xo Catherine
That is a beautiful water fall. As always I love to see them. The rainbow was a gift to you for missing the moonbow. I've never heard of that.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite a bit cooler here. Supposed to be around 33/38 by the morning.
Stay warm.
Absolutely stunning! I love falls and rarely get to see any, so I really appreciate you sharing 'yours' with us.
ReplyDeleteAs for the rock formation:Yep, looks at an aligator to me too.
Awesome rainbows--you were doubly blessed.
The two of you look so good and happy together.
Blessings as you tackle the leaves. We haven't gotten to that point in the season yet, but soon the neighbor's trees will find their way to our little backyard.
I did check your previous blog and enjoyed that one too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! Esp. the falls & double rainbow! Very cool! & No, I had never heard of a moombow before. How interesting! Yes, I'm sure you guys will go back during another full moon & get that picture next time! :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a Wonderful Weekend!!!
HUGS,
Coreen
Hi! I found your blog from "Downtown" blog. I enjoyed your rainbow pictures, they were gorgeous! I love rainbows.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower and hope to see you over on my blog soon. I love flowers and birds and gardening, too!
Cathy in Ky
Love those rainbow pictures,sorry you didn't see the moonbow.
ReplyDeleteThose rocks look like an alligator to me also. Enjoy your cold weekend,don't work to hard in those leaves. I can't even tell I raked leaves this past Wednesday now!!
Have a blessed day.
Marilyn
Betsy! Great images of the falls and that rainbow! WOW!!
ReplyDeleteINCREDIBLE IS THE RIGHT WORD FOR WHAT YOU CAPTURED ON YOUR CAMERA....while reading this I was thinking you wanted a picture of the moonbow so bad that God didn't want you to leave without seeing so of his Incredible work....he new you would share it with all of us. God Bless Trish
ReplyDeleteI wish I could hear the falls as I look at your photos! So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd the rainbows!!! On the way home yesterday there was a huge rainbow stretching from away on one side of the interstate to the other. It moved as I traveled, and seemed to spotlight different objects. I don't think I've ever experienced that before...felt like a real gift!
I have heard of a Moonbow but have never seen one, I hope you can capture one sometime Betsy. That is a gorgeous waterfalls and the double rainbows are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHave a super weekend and try to stay warm. The 20's? Brrrr!
It is incredible, the rainbow looks like a bridge. In fact, the chinese fairy tales often have fairies walking over the rainbow.
ReplyDeleteDo you travel as much in winter?
Have a great weekend with George.
Life couldn't get any better than beautiful waterfalls and rainbows with your sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteHave a delightful weekend, Betsy.
be well, be happy
Hugs :)
How blessed you were--even double blessed! That falls looks like a mini Niagra. Great pictures and such a "good-looking couple."
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
great photos...you just keep getting better. do you guys ever stay home? what fun trips you take. this looks like a wonderful place to visit.
ReplyDeletehope you are enjoying our little cold snap.
hugs and happy autumn.
I always enjoy my arm-chair traveling with you Betsy. You show some pretty spectacular scenery in your part of the world, and that's a lovely photo of you and George. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful Betsy, and those rainbows are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of you and George in front of this fantastic waterfall.
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of a moonbow, but I sure would like to see one. Too bad you missed out on this trip. Maybe next time. But the rainbow and even a double rainbow made up for it, I think.
Yes, I think the rock looks a whole lot like a crocodile!
Waterfalls are so refreshing. They remind us to savour the examples of nature that abound. Peace and joy to you.
ReplyDeleteMiss Betsy! What beautiful pictures you have. Thank you so much for sharing. They made me smile!
ReplyDeleteWonderful place and beautiful photos!Thank YOU very much for so beautiful photos!I have not seen before so like things....
ReplyDeleteWow!! what a beauty!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent waterfall and I like that alligator like rock formation too.
Love the falls and the rainbow! That does look like an alligator!
