A Magical Spot

A picture just doesn't do it justice.

This is our special grotto, with a bridal veil fall of water

that looks like strings of pearls. 

What you can't judge in the picture is that everything 

above the heads of my son and grandkids rises vertically. 

The picture makes it looked steeply sloped, 

but drips from the top most ridge fall on the lip of the ridge below it,

and they fall on the edge below,

and so forth, until the last drips fall into a small pool behind the kids. 

It's a short, but fairly steep hike to get to the falls.

I spent a few hours earlier this week trimming laurel out of the way

for most of the ascent. 

Our son made comments about how neat it would be to create a walkway,

perhaps with a little bridge, and some steps,

all leading to the falls where there would be a small bench

to rest on and enjoy the water music. 

The Mister and I had similar thoughts over the years!
