I just read your profile, and can see we have some things in common...retired, love the garden [especially flowers and roses]...we hike, in a way, it's not climbing tho, it's just walking for hours on the beach and doing a lot of beach combing. Oh, and I have two adult children, 43 TODAY in fact, and 40 in May. And.....birding!!!!<br /><br />Yep, I'm Texan...living on the Gulf coast, just minutes away from the islands.<br /><br />Again, thanks for visiting...will begin following you now that I've 'found you'...and hope to see you pay a return visit anytime. Really enjoyed your trek around Arkansas....<br /><br />Especially the smiling, loving couple. :o)Hootin Annihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811326085498312568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-63261920834913447752012-04-01T16:38:14.269-05:002012-04-01T16:38:14.269-05:00Betsy, after you mentioned the quote on your blog ...Betsy, after you mentioned the quote on your blog about the raindrops I had to check it out and saw three that I love; that one included.

You two are fantastic! George is amazing, when I carry my camera and lens it is heavy so thinking of George truding up and down mts with a tripod too.....unbelievable. My tripod is heavy alone which is one reason it never seems to get in the car with us, hehe, I simply don't want to drag it around with me, but then of course we don't have "us" pictures unless some lovely individual stops to take one and that means they have to use one of our cameras and most people really want just a point and shoot and don't have a clue what to do with our cameras, especially my Nikon. Yup, love this picture of you too, but each picture is beautiful. The love you two have just comes through bigger and happier with each passing trip/hike/waterfall! Blessing. BTW I try to open that utube thingy and I get an entire list of stuff but not what I want. Happens with my son's stuff he send too. I am going to watch a movie with hubby, will try to open that again tomorrow!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235486703363466753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-20934079776425375362012-03-31T17:48:43.440-05:002012-03-31T17:48:43.440-05:00Hi Betsy, I like Arkansas a lot but did not want ...Hi Betsy, I like Arkansas a lot but did not want to live there due to the stormy Springs that often happen there.

My favorite photo was of the "stairstep" creek. A few years ago I hiked in England's Lake District and one of the hikers in the group was "Dr. Ron", newly retired head of TN's Department of Health and Human Services. Before we started walking, he cut himself a sturdy stick and used it for the eight days of our hike. We were all coveting one before the end of the trip!Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227397761350236459noreply@blogger.com
