Happy Thankful Thursday!
On May 5th and 6th we toured and hiked more of Mammoth Cave National Park we also took a tour of the Diamond Caverns just outside the park entrance. We hiked on the Green River Bluff trail had beautiful views of the river and forest in the park.
The Green River a day after the big rain storm. The river is muddy and not the green color from the day before.
One of the few raptors I saw on my road trip. I am not sure of the id.
A female Eastern Towhee
Diamond Caverns is a public cave outside the Mammoth Cave National Park. Diamond Caverns has been offering tours for 155 years.
The some of the ceiling in the Diamond Caverns.
Below are various cave formations found in the Diamond Caverns.
The water dripping constantly keeps the cave growing. I think the drips on the bottom right look neat.
The shapes and formations are beautiful.
Amazing drapery formation was very pretty.
We did not see any of the bats in the caves, I would not mind seeing them hanging from the cave ceiling. White-nose Syndrome is a disease that is killing bat populations and spreading in the USA. The loss of millions of bats is bad news as they devour millions of insect pests and have a role in pollination.
I was thankful there were lights inside this cave and our cave guide was great.
I am thankful for the beauty above and below the ground.
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.
