Got talked into taking a little hike -- spent most of the day. Got plenty of sun, but it was lovely. Been a while since I've been up there. Homesick anyone? (The pix look better blown up.)
Dear Bill, the pictures were beautiful and a grand place to hike. By chance I watched the channel about travel last night and it was all about the islands of Hawaii and such scenes. The traveling hostess was Samantha Brown. I also enjoyed the sage comments of three of our nation's great thinkers. My name is also bill Hastings and there is another one who is the chief censor in New Zealand. That is why your blog came to my attention. I don't have a blog and I'm not used to them so I hope my comment is correctly put. I live in the home state of James Madison, the father of the Constitution, and greatly admire, Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams. Aloha Nui, bill Hastings of Virginia
Oh, it brings back such memories! I miss Anna's Pond! It looks beautiful, as always. So glad you got out for the day. You should do it more often (and so should I).
Beautiful pictures. It's sad that my experience there last time wasn't so great. I was followed by a swarm of misquotes and I cried. Hopefully it's not always like that.
It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.
Mark Twain
The true theory of our Constitution is surly the wisest and best ... [for] when all government ... shall be drawn to Washington as the centre of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as ... oppressive as the government from which we separated.
Thomas Jefferson
I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.
James Madison
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

OK. The falls look lovely, but I have no clue where they are. Are they near your home?

The scenes were above Anna Ranch -- around the hill from our place.
