The Seven Sisters

"The Seven Sisters"

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

 

Deep in Grenada's rainforest lie seven waterfalls called the Seven Sisters. While in the West Indies, we visited Grenada on an excursion from the Emerald Princess. 

 

The larger waterfall is majestic and feeds into a small waterfall below the beautiful pool. The other five waterfalls could not be viewed from our location. 

 

It was fun trekking into the rainforest to the falls. On the way there, we passed a small wooden shanty and borrowed a hiking stick. I even saw a hummingbird. The view is stunning! 

 

We were surprised to receive a free attraction—a man climbed the falls and did a backflip into the pool below. Of course, tips were encouraged. 

 

On the way back, we visited the shanty for a cold drink. It was a wonderful excursion.

 

I enjoy posting my cruise photos as I relive the experience again.

Airborne on Tallulah Gorge

“Airborne on Tallulah Gorge”

A few members of the Athens Photography Guild (APG) headed to Tallulah Gorge State Park for a photo shoot recently. The day we went was one of several water release dates set by the park.

  I had the privilege of going in 2013 for the first time for this neat event. Why is it neat? Normally, there are 35-40 CFS (cubic feet per second) flowing through the gorge. The day we went there were 500 CFS! 

This is a huge date for kayakers to enjoy the water and test their skills.

What an awesome experience to be able to photograph world-class kayakers going over fast moving rapids including a class five rapid. 

The last release dates for this year are November 18 & 19! Get outside!

Indian Creek Falls

Our family loves to hike to waterfalls! Our typical tradition before we vacation in North Carolina is to hike to a few falls. This month we visited Indian Creek Falls, Tom Branch Falls, and Juneywhank Falls.

Learn from our experience and carefully look at a trail map. We got lost in the woods for over an hour when we took the wrong fork on the trail. Much later, when we turned around to go back, the trail was faint and we somehow lost the path. Needless to say, it was not a fun experience!

Happy Earth Day!

What did you do to celebrate Earth Day? Did you get outside and enjoy the Lord’s spectacular nature He created?

I hiked to my 42nd waterfall with my husband. We sat in the shade, enjoyed a picnic on the rocks and enjoyed the view.

"Constant Motion"

Waterfalls are beautiful, and are in a constant state of motion. I am glad we have them to admire!

Sometimes the earth is in drought and not much water flows, and at times we have abundant water. Our spiritual lives can be that way too. Stay close to God and draw on His strength.

"Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world." James 4:8

Falling in Love

“Falling in Love”

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

Angi, a gal from the Athens Photography Guild, hiked to Panther Creek Falls with me at the end of October. It was a long hike but well worth the trip.

When we got to the waterfall, a guy and girl were sitting on a large rock together. I thought it would be perfect to also photograph them.

After while, they got up and walked towards me. I wanted them to have the photograph if they wanted it, so I introduced myself and gave them my business card.

She was excited to get the photograph because he did not like his picture taken.

Whether or not they are falling in love is beside the point. I have no idea. My husband suggested the title, and even though it may seem cheesy, I think it is perfect.
