Description

Ricketts Glen State Park, PA
My great grandmother, Georgia, once told me she was named after Georgia O'Keefe. She was right: They were both born in 1887 and my great grandmother was named two months after O'Keefe. My point of view on these falls reminded me of them both.

Sure is beautiful, as are O'Keefe's paintings! Sounds as if your great grandmother had a sense of humor -- suspect it's filtered down to you! ;-D #9003476

Marty- That was such a lovely story. It is amazing how things that we see remind us of a time and the people who touched our lives. You accomanied the story with this gorgeous scene with the rushing water as it makes that unforgetable sound that eases the soul. I love all the little pepples you captured and the compositon. The lighting is so perfect for the picture. One of my favorite subjects I love to see pictures of.
You have a fantastic weekend my friend, you take care, be safe. #9004718

Love your beautifully captured water veiling slicing thru a perfect NE autumn scene, as well as, the leaf covered outcropping meeting it. Both Georgias, somewhere, are smiling at your remembrance and tribute, I'm sure. As always, your captures, particularly this time of the year, make me homesick for the sights and wonderful autumn smells of the NE. So good to see - thanks, my friend! #9010314

The leaves are great on the rocks and the veiling is perfect Marty..
