Looking Glass Falls

On our December trip to the Brevard, NC area, one waterfall which we visited again was LOOKING GLASS FALLS (pictured above). Anyone who has ever been to the Brevard area has probably seen this waterfall since it is right beside the road. NO hiking is required!!!!! AND---it's a gorgeous waterfall to see during any season.

This time was the first time we have seen it so icy. We walked down the steps to get closer--and we felt the mist and ICE as we got closer to the bottom. George made it to the bottom--but I stopped and held onto the side railings.... Hope you enjoy our pictures of and around Looking Glass Falls.





























This was taken across the road from the waterfall.




Here's one more picture of the falls --taken from the top/road.

Yes, it was a cold December day in North Carolina with temperatures in the 20's. I have to laugh now as I write this because the temperatures here at home have been much lower than they were when we were on that trip in December. Our lows have been in the single digits and the highs in the low 20's for several days now... Brrrrrrr!!!

Today---as you read this, we may or may not have SNOW here in our part of TN. I'll keep you posted---but usually, when 'they' predict it, we don't get it... I hope we do---but I'm not holding my breath!!!!

Have a great Thursday!!!
Hugs,

More Birdies

Yesterday I showed you some of my Backyard Birds... Today, I'm only showing two different birds--but these are my fav's... Hope you enjoy the pictures of the Pileated Woodpecker (who comes to the suet feeder OFTEN recently) and the Eastern Bluebirds (who also are coming everyday, now that it is so cold). I love both of these birds ---and can't get enough pictures of them!!!! Hope you enjoy them too.




The Blues come to the deck and feeders in groups. The front center is the male, and the rest are females.





Mr. Blue wanted to show off his pretty blue feathers!!!





The female says: "Hey Lady... Don't leave me out. Wanna see...





...my pretty feathers also???? I'm just as pretty as the Mister, don't you think?"





"Oh My... please don't show this one... I haven't been to the groomer yet today!"



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Peek-a-boo! Do you think she sees me???"





"Okay.... I've searched ALL around. I think the coast is clear... Here I go!"





"Hmmmm... This looks pretty yummy, don't you think?"





"I wish that lady would make this feeder just a 'tad' bigger for me!! BUT--I can still dig in!"





"Heaven... I'm in heaven.... This is just TOO GOOD... Yummmmmmy."


Hope you enjoyed seeing my birdies these past two days.

"They" say that we'll get some snow on Thursday. WELL---"THEY" have said this many times before and "THEY" have been wrong. We shall see what happens tomorrow!!!!

Hugs,
