{The soothing and serene scenes of Hebron Rock colony}
The woods were made for the hunters of dreams,
The brooks for the fishers of song;
To the hunters who hunt for the gunless game
The streams and the woods belong.
~Sam Walter Foss~
Don't know when I will
be ready to say farewell
Bittersweet goodbye.
Hebron Rock Colony is a very interesting place.
Rock hopping the boulder strewn ravine is fun, but it can be tricky.
Although, the hard work really pays off with its many great features.
It's one of my most favorite not-so-secret places to go around Boone.
This particular day was my first time venturing there during fall.
It was especially beautiful with the warm tones reflecting off the calm pools.
I so awfully miss those long, golden, breezy days....I need a little sunshine.
Aside from a few yellow-leaved trees, our colors have faded here in the high country.
Thank goodness I saved some fall photos for this fall withdraw I'm having.

It is a WaterFall life too! Such lovely shots! You live in a WonderFull place. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gorgeous shots!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to shoot good flowing water pictures, and I never have. These are gorgeous! That looks like a place I could hang out, for a long time.
ReplyDeletemagnificent flowing-water shots! i'm impressed!! :)
ReplyDeleteomg...there are all gorgeous
ReplyDeleteMy PSF entry this week : in HERE. Hope you have time to visit . Thanks
You don't know how much I needed the complete escape into beauty that these photos gave me. What a set of perfection, WW. Where I love all of them I must say that the last two are so beautiful they brought tears to my eyes. Of the two if I had to choose a fave it would be the final one. It goes perfectly with the prose. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this post.
ReplyDeleteStunning. I could sit and look at these all day!
ReplyDeleteThese shots simply take my breath away... Totally beautiful, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeletebeautiful shots. i still need to do that. when i am next to a river here i am always nervous about bears. i do my best but i need to take better shots.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed that. Images and text are wonderful. Being ready to say good-bye is a tough idea!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful photos I admire you for being able to take such perfectly exposed shots knowing how hard that is to do in a forest environment.
ReplyDeletethat's so pretty,
ReplyDeletemay I know where is this??
Beautiful photos. It reminds me of Hocking Hills here in Ohio, its one of those non-secret places that is just incredible to see all seasons of the year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe lost a lot of our best fall colors pretty early this year. I am saddened that I didn't get to capture as many. Love the waterfalls. Spectacular.
These photos are so, so lovely. We enjoy waterfalls here in Maine but I haven't managed to get photos as nice as these. I'm inspired, once again.
ReplyDeletegorgeous! wow!
ReplyDeleteI think these are my favorite pictures ever. They're great. :)
ReplyDeleteI think Christmas is meant to give us something to look forward to once fall ends...
I was hiking there right with you... what a great collection. I could hear the water, smell the follage & feel the chill. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteseems we have all been enjoying this autumn season and it's so cool to be able to see what others see - everyone sharing the beauty in their part of the country. Your photos are especially nice and the waterfall shots magnificent. Sad to say goodbye to fall but winter can offer us beauty as well.
ReplyDeleteWOW - gorgeous shots!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat Fall Dam shot...is there anyway to make it a DeskTop picture??
