Just plain weird1960 viewsYou don't get to myage and not see things most folks would think odd but, this is really andodd thing.

The water just squirts out of the cliff face, not over the top edge of a cliff but, out of the cliff face and below it's top.

Now that I have learned which end of the camera points to the falls I am going to return and get better photos.

King Fisher1959 viewsSorry for the poor quality of the photo, it was taken several hundred yards from the royal subject.

Watched a pair of King fishers feeding and mating for quiet some time but, photographing them was very tough to do since they rarely sit still and were at such a distance.

The photo was taken on my recent trip to Middle Tennessee near Rock Island.

Upper -51955 views A cowardly shot from the road. I had stopped by Clinch Mountain Winery on the way to this falls and got a bottle of HOUND DOG RED, after which, my courage kicked in and with my trusty ROAMING KNOB I jousted Upper Joe Mills falls. I would have made it to the bottom but, unfortunately ran out of Hound Dog Red.

Not true but, sounded good didn't it.
