A Letchworth Autumn

LOL – Thank you so much Isa – yesterday was probably my last chance to capture this autumn wonderland – grey days ahead, windy and stormy and all the leaves will be gone. But I’ll have to get back over after a heavy snow – it’s just as beautiful then too! So happy that you liked it, my friend.

Thank you so much Kathy – both for your visit and your lovely comment. I appreciate both a great deal.

That is exactly how I feel when I’m there, Lisa – almost so caught up in the grandeur of it, the spirituality of it that I forget I was there to take a few pictures! I’m so very happy that you like this my friend.

Thank you so much John – I have one more I think might be good enough – lol but I’ll wait until tomorrow. [I got water spots on my camera from the spray and most of my images are not really usable – darn] I love Letchworth too and certainly at this time of the year best of all! So glad you like d this, my friend.

I’m so pleased that you like it – and I so very much appreciate your visit and your very lovely comment. Thank you so much.

Aww thank you Ellen – you’re a dear to say so. I’m always so happy when you like something since your work brings such delight.

I just love Letchworth – especially in the fall and this was my last chance to catch it in at least some sun before the leaves are all gone. I’m so tickled that you like it, Christie. Thank you so much.

I love them too – if you saw my image files here you’d know that the overwhelming number of shots are of various waterfalls around here and other places that I’ve been. I just don’t post them very often – one would tire of the same thing all the time – lol. I’m delighted that you liked this one Cassidy.

You are so funny – you know this is just serendipity for me. I still prefer to write but every now and then, I really do get lucky especially if it’s something I love like Letchworth. So I’m thrilled that you like it too! Thanks so much Donna!

I’m honored by your visit and goodness, I’d take a hundred wows with the enthusiasm of that one! Thank you so very much – I am delighted that you liked it!

Gosh, I love them too Lisa – just so much and the falls at Letchworth are among my favorites of any I’ve seen. I’m so pleased that you like this—thanks so much for the lovely comment.

Thanks so much Sean – I’m a bit prejudiced but I think it’s pretty beautiful too! I very much appreciate your stopping by to see and comment!

It may be a bit of bias on my part but I think it is much more glorious than Niagara Falls – which is about equidistant from me. Perhaps it’s the very unspoiled nature of Letchworth as opposed to the rampant commercialism of Niagara but I’ve always loved this place. The hiking trails are fabulous, there’s a truly awesome Inn and restaurant right above these middle falls, Indian museums, camp grounds – just all around a lovely place to be any season of the year and you never have to fight the crowds! Thanks so much TR – I’m really happy that you liked it!

My pleasure, I’m sure! I’m just a bit partial as it’s just over a half hour from me and I go over several times a year and at least once each season. I’m so glad you liked it – thank you for your lovely comment.

Aww well thank you Evita—I’m so glad you liked it. Just a favorite place of mine every season of the year. Thanks for your lovely comment my friend.

Thanks so much Shiloh – I’m thrilled that you like this. I’m very partial to my part of the country at this time of the year!

I did indeed Eric – thank you for that. And thank you for your lovely comment. Are you in this neck of the woods yourself?

No kidding – that IS a great idea. In fact, I’d mentioned to Maureen that I didn’t think it would be much of a trek to split the distance. Let’s plan on it!! Lovely thought!

Thank you dear Maggie – it’s just one of my favorite places any time of year but I especially wanted to get there while the leaves were in full color. I’m so glad you liked it – I have another to post tomorrow with a bit longer view of the gorge. So appreciate your support my friend.

Aren’t you just the kindest person – I feel awkward with a camera in hand most of the time because I have no idea what to do with it. No clue about settings, don’t own a tripod, just point and shoot – lol. I’d be scared to death to have a fancy dancy camera with all those lenses! But every now and then out of 100 shots I might get one that’s pretty good – lol. So glad you feel that way about this one – one of my favorite places on earth! Thank you dear Rosie! You have a great weekend as well!

Thanks so much Zoe – this is one of my all time favorite spots and I try to get over at least once each season and take some pics. In fact the very first picture I posted on RB was of the upper falls here. [too small a file to even make a card from – taken on my old little digital] But I’m not a terrific photographer – I just get lucky every now and then.

Ah Shelly I’m just delighted to share this view with you – and have another I’ll post tomorrow of the entire gorge. I’m so thrilled that you liked it and happy that it it brings back good memories.Thank you Shelly!

ROFL – that is exactly how I’d have described myself with a camera in hand just a year ago. And that’s pretty much what my images looked like too. But practice and trying to see with my heart more than my eyes seems to have changed that quite a bit. thank you Zoe.

It is healing – just the walk on a crisp fall day, the smell of the leaves, the powerful sound of the cascade in the gorge, the color – I felt totally renewed and incredibly grateful to the Creator of it all. Thank you Del.

Hello there dear friend – are you all over your jet lag? Yes, I took time to do that Mariann though the clouds rolled in shortly after this shot. I’m so glad you liked it – thank you so very much!

Thank you so much Ray – I love this place – it makes me feel wonderful to be there. I’m so glad you liked it!

Thank you Susie – you’re such a doll! You know how much I missed you? Tons!!!! I’m so glad you liked this my friend – it’s one of my favorite spots.

Thank you so much Niki – I really appreciate your visit and I’m honored by your lovely comment.

Why thank you my dear friend – as I’ve said before, I suspect there might be a lot of just plain serendipity about this! If you ever get here I’ll take you right there. I like it so much better than Niagara Falls which gets all the glory around here. I’ll take Letchworth every day of the week over Niagara. Wait till you see the one I post tomorrow – it will give you some idea I hope of the immensity of this gorge. Thank you so very much!

I don’t get down to the lower falls very often any more Keith – the trek down – and even more the climb back up is pretty much too much for my asthma and my arthritic knees – lol. But I agree – they are particularly lovely so deep in the gorge. Thank you Keith!

Sharon I’m so very pleased and completely humbled by your beautiful comment. Thank you so much – I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it!

Well my dear Maureen, any time you want to pack a bag and head my way I have tons of space and would be deliriously happy to share this special place with you. I love Letchworth so much and so much more than Niagara Falls. I’m so glad you liked this – that means a lot to me- thank you!!

What a lovely, lovely thing to say! I’m really very honored by your visit – and thrilled by your comment. You do an exceptionally fine waterfall yourself! Thank you so very much!

Thank you so much for your visit – I’m honored by that and appreciate your very lovely comment so much!

Thanks so much Kathy – one of my very favorite places, especially in the fall. I truly appreciate your very lovely comment!!

It is indeed Bev – not quite as powerful as Niagara Falls of course, but still my preferred spot. I especially love it in the autumn and had I been able to be there at the right time of the day, the river looks orange from the reflections – I missed my window of opportunity! Thanks Bev – I’m glad you liked it.

Thanks so much Jeff – it’s really pretty hard to go wrong with scenery like this! I’m truly glad you liked it. Thank you.

Thank you Antanas – I so appreciate your comment.

Oh I’m so glad you’ve seen the real thing – then you can fill in what’s missing from memory! It is so very beautiful in every season. Truly happy that you liked this and appreciate your comment so very much.

Thanks so much Lana – it’s just a place I love to go in the fall – it’s always a blaze of color and the cascades are so gorgeous. So appreciate your lovely comment.

You are just really too kind. Photography is not my forte or my first love really though I’ve come to love and learn a great deal from it. Every now and then I really get very lucky! Thank you so very much!

Thank you so much Tara – I think I get lucky with pictures of Letchworth because I love it so much! So appreciate your lovely comment.

Thank you so much Joanne – can’t tell you how wonderful that lovely comment makes me feel. So thrilled that you like it!

Oh Sharon – I’m so very honored! This means a great deal to me. Thank you so very much!! Wow, I’m dancing on a cloud!

That’s why I love it so much! Yes, Letchworth is particularly beautiful in Autumn and I make sure I get over there at least once during this season. And then, sometimes, I just get a very lucky shot like this. Thank you so much, Lina – you’ve made my day!

Thank you so much!! I’m tremendously pleased that you like it. It’s one of my favorite places.

Thank you Ingrid – you’re so sweet. What a lovely thing to say!

Thank you so very much – I do appreciate your visit and lovely comment a great deal!

You are just too kind, Lyn – I so appreciate your lovely comment. You’ve made my day. Thank you!

Well hello Navy…thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment. I appreciate it so much!

Thank you Meeli – so pleased that you liked it!

Thank you so very much Braedene – I’m just really drawn to waterfalls and this one in particular in the autumn. I must say though that photography is not my first love or my strong suit – though I’ve learned a great deal and get lucky now and then. I joined RB for the writing and then fell in love with the art as well. Thank you so much for your lovely compliment – I’m very honored.

Thank you so much Carlos – I’m so pleased that you liked it. It’s one of my favorite spots and one really can’t go too far wrong!

Isn’t it a lovely place? I like it much better than Niagara Falls which gets all the attention. But that’s fine with me – it keeps Letchworth unspoiled. I’m so glad you liked it Val – thank you.

Thank you – one of my favorite places to go in the fall. Always so pretty.

Your enthusiasm is just so uplifting Erhan and I thank you so much for that. Your kindness and generous praise is undeserved but very much appreciated. Yes, God/Mother Nature is wonderful to provide us with so much beauty to take care of – and fortunately this particular place is completely unspoiled. :)

Thank you so much Bela – I do love it here. But I must admit that I only managed to salvage a couple of shots as my lens was covered by the mist from the falls so most of my pictures had water spots all over them – lol.

It’s just a heavenly place to be in the autumn but yes the roar is incredible. Thank you so much for your visit and your lovely, generous words – I appreciate it very much.

Oh I’m thrilled that you like it, Luca. I try to get over to this park every year in the autumn and this year I got very lucky with the leaves at full peak color and the day partly cloudy with the sun coming out just at the right time! Thank you so much for the favorite too!

Thank you again Mariola – it’s such a special place. I like it much better than Niagara Falls as it’s unspoiled and not so crowded! I’m glad you liked it!

I’m incredibly honored Sharon – I can’t thank you enough for this. It means a great deal to me.

Thank you so very much – my apologies for my delay in responding. I have had to be away off and on lately. I’m so pleased that you liked this – one of my favorite spots!

Thank you ever so much – I do love this place particularly in the autumn. And I got very lucky this year to be there just when the leaves were at their peak color. I’m so very pleased that you liked it!

I’m incredibly honored by that – it’s a first for me in that wonderful group. Thank you so very much – this is such a lovely place to go in the fall, especially if you can get there when the leaves are at their peak of color. I was very lucky to be able to do that. I’m so very happy that you liked this!

Thank you so much Mariola! I’m so sorry I’ve not been around to catch all your brilliant work but I shall get there later today and catch up on some of it at least! I seem to be off more than on the bubble lately!

I have never seen Letchworth only as a trickle – I can’t even imagine it – lol. But I’m glad I could show you how powerful it is at its best. We had a wet summer, dry Sept. but rain again in October so this worked out well. I’m very glad you liked it.

Christopher – I am just overcome with joy at the generosity of your comment! I am constantly reminding myself that I am NOT a photographer – lol – and then you so graciously leave such a lovely comment. I am so honored really by your visit, Chris – you know how much I have loved your beautiful work – so I thank you from my heart for this! xox

Thank you so much John – I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that! I’ve been away lately and so have missed you and your fine work too. I shall have to try to make up for that!

Oh I do love it here for sure – and I got so very lucky the day I went – the light was simply perfect, as if I’d ordered it special – lol. I’m so tickled that you like this Susie – makes my day!

Oh I am so very glad that you like this – this one is rather special to me as this is one of my favorite places any time of year but particularly in the fall. Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment!!
