Betsy and I visited the Great Falls of the Potomac during our Virginia trip at the end of September. We have long had this waterfall on our ‘to see’ list, but it hadn’t been possible for us to get there before this trip.

We visited Great Falls Park on the Virginia side of the river on a beautiful sunny afternoon. We didn’t have time to do a great deal of hiking, but we did get to a couple of overlooks from which these pictures were taken.

The waterfall is every bit as grand as beautiful as we were told it would be, but quite frankly, in my opinion the beauty of the waterfall is nothing compared to that of my Beautiful Bride.

I don’t know what the heck is going on with Google/Blogger. People just aren’t showing up on my dashboard. Once I click you on my list of blogs I follow, THEN you take your place in the line up, like you had JUST posted. GRRRRR! Sorry I’m late.

The falls are beautiful.It is wonderful to know that in your eyes Betsy far outshines all the other beauty.

What a gorgeous place! From the look on the face of your Beautiful Bride, I’d say she feels the same about the photographer.

Oh George, what a lovely thing to say about your bride. Such love you have for each other 🙂 Your photos of Great Falls were also wonderful. We have been there but not for a very long time. It is an incredible waterfall.

I like Great Falls and hope to go back one day! It was so much easier to visit when I lived in the DC area.
