Falling waters

Have you ever started out thinking you’re going to do one thing, and turns out you end up doing something else completely different? Yeah, that…

I started out on my photo hike this weekend thinking I would go to the historic downtown of a small city near me ~ well, really not so near. It took about an hour to drive there, and was sorely disappointed in the lack of photo opps available. Fortunately for me, just a few miles down the road was a state park I haven’t visited in a while… crisis averted.

And, of course there were a couple of broken down structures to be photographed on the way there and back.

Falling Waters State Park near Chipley, FL:

Falling waters

Fern gully

Sink hole

End cap

    • Should add, congrats on the nanowrimo! One of my favorite authors CE Murphy (www.mizkit.com) is doing it this year and tracking progress on her blog. If I ever stop working so much, I’ll be signing up as well.

  11. I have never met someone who can take the most basic structures and turn them into a beautiful work of art like you can with buildings & such. I always want to know MORE about them, what their story was.
