Watery Wednesday #90: Panther Falls

June 2, 2010

Panther Falls, Rabun County, Georgia. June 23,2009

This is my post for Watery Wednesday.  To see more of our beautiful watery world, or to join and post your own pictures to share, click HERE.

Some of the nicest waterfalls Betsy and I visit are relatively small, but involve a pleasant hike through a forest, often along a pretty creek.  Last June we visited Panther Falls in Rabun County, Georgia.  The hike was about two miles on a pretty June day.  And what made the day even nicer was that we had the waterfall to ourselves when we got there.  There’s nothing nicer than hearing water splash over the rocks while sitting next to a pretty girl.

My World: Roses for my Beautiful Bride

Ronald Reagan rose, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. May 31, 2010.

This is my post for the My World meme.  It is hosted by Klaus, Ivar, Sandy, Wren, and Fishing Guy.  To learn more about our world or to join and share your part of the world, click HERE.

If you’ve read Betsy’s blog you know that we have 55 varieties of roses in our yard.  They keep us busy, but we have enough roses that I can bring in a rose for my Beautiful Bride just about every day.

The rose above is one of our new roses this year.  The picture really doesn’t do it justice, but the Ronald Reagan rose is a beautiful bicolor.  This is the rose I brought into the house for Betsy yesterday.

Speaking of my Beautiful Bride, Betsy is still in a lot of pain whenever she is on her feet for more than a couple of minutes.  Hopefully she will be able to see the doctor later today and get some answers.  In the meantime I can’t begin to tell you how much we both appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
