Watery Wednesday # 23

Wetumpka Falls, Tullahoma, Tennessee.  February 14, 2009.

Wetumpka Falls, Tullahoma, Tennessee. February 14, 2009.

This is my entry for Watery Wednesday, a weekly meme that features scenes from around our watery world.  To see more pictures, or to join and post pictures of your own, click HERE.

There isn’t a great deal of water in this picture (which can be enlarged), but I am posting it since it is the latest waterfall that Betsy and I have added to our waterfall ‘collection’.  Wetumpka Falls is the 301st waterfall in our collection.

Sunday I wrote about Pond Falls, which was 300th in our collection.  Wetumpka Falls was a footnote in our waterfall book and is located about half a mile from Ledford Mill.  We went right past it the first time we tried to find it, but spotted it the second time.  It can be seen from the road if you know where to look.  Wetumpka Falls might be small, but it’s a nice start to our second 300 waterfalls.

In trying to find more information on Tennessee’s Wetumpka Falls, I found two more waterfalls with the same name — one in Alabama and one in New Jersey.  So it looks like we have a couple of more waterfalling trips to make.

    I knew about the Wetumpka in NJ, although I’ve never been there. Didn’t realize there were more than one. Great shot, even without a lot of water!

    This is nice and I bet when they get a monster rain, that is really going over the rocks.

    I love the two tiers of this one George and imagine it would be quite impressive with a lot of water flowing!

    As soon as I saw the name “Wetumpka” I remembered that name from neighboring Alabama!

    A little waterfall pouring down a natural staircase! Nature is wonderful! And I must say I admire your collection of waterfalls! Living in Norway I should have thought about that myself – we also have a lot of them. But it never crossed my mind! Well – now it does…..:)

    I love your outlook, George…not starting on the next 100; starting on the next 300! Good luck.

    Alabama? New Jersey? Sounds like a road trip will be coming in your future. 🙂

    George, I bet when it rains there is a LOT of water coming over the falls, the way those banks have been undercut!! Not sure if you would want to go back then, for risk of flooding!! I like the photo of Pond Falls, too!! But it is more “normal”. This one is really unusual. Thanks for sharing!

    George this looks lovely and wow at the # of waterfalls you two have got to!

    I hope you are both staying safe if tornadoes are around, sadly we still have no rain in our forecast for the next week.

    I do like seeing the carving of the rocks in this photo! I don’t think I’ve seen a waterfall (that you’ve shown) that I haven’t liked!
