I Hate To Brag

Daytripping

…BUT!

I know. I am always talking about how gorgeous WV is.

You just can’t take a photo here without it looking like a painting, it’s so pretty.

Take this fast-flowing, boulder-strewn trout stream. There’s a sign that says–Kayak At Your Own Risk. Uh, yeah.:no:

This is Glade Creek Grist Mill, a restored water mill at Babcock State Park located in Fayette County, a couple hours from where I live. It’s a fully operable mill and they sell cornmeal and buckwheat flour through the park office.

Believe it or not, the park used to allow people to swim here. :shocked:

Been anywhere good lately? Tell me!

    Ever feel like you’re lost in a John Denver song? Some days, that’s what your blog does to me. That, and my brother’s Postcards from Colorado.

    Were you on a bridge when you took the shot? It looks like you are in the middle of the creek.

    Congratulations Estella!

    I love the pictures and would love some buckwheat flour. My Mom used to make buckwheat pancakes for us. Yummy.

    Hmm…my dh and ds2 went to a corn maze yesterday. I had to stay behind with ds1 but that’s okay. It was cold and windy here. They had a blast!

    Congrats Estella!

    The pictures are beautiful! You could have them enlarged and then hang them! You could become a photographer and have your own show! I know they would sell! :yes:

    Beautiful pictures! I would love to see that everyday. Do you live nearby?

    Btw, I love that you have Nathan Kamp as the cover model for “The Beast Within”. He’s the guy I did a tribute to at my blog (I think back in March). Can you say obsessed? LOL.
