RED-HEADED WOODPECKER

Today,   I'm asking you to visit my Joyful Reflections blog --especially if you love birds.  I have about 14 adorable photos to share on that blog post.  Click HERE to see that post if you haven't seen it yet.  Today's photo is only ONE of the 14.   The Red-Headed Woodpeckers are beautiful birds,  especially this time of year.  I loved this shot---with him carrying that BIG peanut!!!!

Tallulah Gorge, Georgia

Tallulah Gorge,  located in North Georgia near Clayton,  is one of our favorite places to visit.  In fact, we were just there on May 4.  The picture above was taken on May 4, and was taken from the far side of the gorge looking down.  See that bridge?  We climbed down the SIX MILLION (well--a few less than that!!!) STEPS, crossed the bridge, headed on down more steps to view Hurricane Falls at the bottom of the gorge,  and then headed back up the six million steps to the other side...  Great EXERCISE --especially going back UP!!!!! ha  (George read that there were 1,089 total steps down and back up... Felt like SIX million!!!! ha ha)

OCEAN ISLE BEACH, North Carolina

George and I love to visit Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina.  We go there once or twice a year to enjoy the beach and to eat the great seafood!!!!!  Here is one of my favorite photos of a double rainbow over the ocean.

Fall Creek Falls State Park

George and I visited Fall Creek Falls State Park (on the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee,  about an hour southwest of us) on 4/21/13.   Here is a good picture  of some wildflowers growing in the area.  This 25,000 acre park offers something for everyone: hiking, camping, lodge, cabins, biking, waterfalls, great restaurant, etc.
