I'm finally getting back to the Seven Falls pictures, of which the Stellar's Jay was the first one.

| These trees always fascinate me. Poor things are on eroding hills, their roots exposed, yet they survive. |
 |
| I don't think this little fall counts among the seven, as it doesn't have a name. |
 |
| The lowest fall, Hill Falls, named after the current owner. A fan waterfall. |

| And the trek begins... |

Bet those falls were cool to see!
Have a great Thanksgiving, Shannon.
I want to go to there! Great pics!
And thanks for the plug! You know, there's very little better than finding an unasked for plug just waiting around to be found!
Amazing photos! Thank you for posting.
Oooh, the blog hops and fests look fantastic! I've just signed up for the Hobbit Fest (I'm going to the midnight showing in my town, so I don't think I have any excuse to not do the blogfest too), and for the "And you are . . ." blog hop.
Contemplating an A-Z guest post. We'll see. I'll try to finish surviving NaNo first.
beautiful
Alex, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Andrew, yay, glad I could provide it!
Shauna, thank you!
Rebekah, fun! And I'm completely jealous of the midnight showing.
Becca, it is!
Yep, I'm participating in a few of those. I wanted to sign up for HOBBIT but the linky is closed. I've asked on Tyrean's blog whether that was intended :)
I'm sure the blogfest will be great! Unfortunately I will likely be away for a few days in December but will call in to see how it all went. Have fun!
Beautiful pictures! Lots of exciting blogfests ahead! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Shannon.
Julie
Wow...those pictures are beautiful!! And all the blogfests sound great.
But I'm curious. What would a guest poster on the A-Z challenge do? I've heard of this challenge, but I've only been blogging for a few months and I'm not sure exactly what it is. Let me know?
And thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
Trisha, ack! I haven't signed up for that yet. Hope it's just a glitch.
Pat, I hope your travels are at least partially for fun!
Julie, I did. I hope yours was great, as well!
Tamara, you can post about anything that might be useful or interesting to the readers. If you'd like to consider guest posting, it wouldn't be during the challenge, itself, but the rest of the year, and you can look at what others are posting to get an idea.
As for the challenge, it occurs in April. You post every week day in alphabetical order (April 1, A; April 2, B), on any theme you like.
I'm signed up for the Cheers Alex blogfest. Hadn't heard of the other two. Thanks for the links.
Liked the photos of the falls. Nature shots remind us 'city people' to stop and look around.
Excellent pics! Can't wait for the Hobbit blogfest. ;)
Those signs mean business! Great to see the leaf color.
Definitely loved the pics, even though I got a little dizzy from seeing it at the Eagles view- they were breathtaking. Some really great shared info. Checking out the links! Def enjoyed reading your posting today!
D.G., I'm lucky in that I live in the city, but it's about five minutes drive to "nature" and we have protected space within the city. One of the reasons I love Colorado Springs.
ibdiamond, it should be fun!
Susan, oh boy, did they!
Gossip_Grl, I don't have an issue with heights, but this trek certainly gave me a few moments. Especially since I was lugging three littles with me. I don't think I relaxed the entire time we were on the stairs until I had them safely on the ground.
