Happy Thankful Thursday!
During our one night two day visit to the New River Gorge Bridge and National Park we visited the Sandstone Falls and the visitor center. They were working on the road back to the Sandstone Falls so it took a while to drive there. It was worth putting up with the road work to see this pretty spot of the park. Sandstone Falls is 1500 feet wide and is made up of a network of boardwalks and little islands.
Early morning fog was hanging around the mountains near the New River.
The Sandstone Falls at the New River Gorge Park. It was a pretty day for a hike at the park and waterfalls.
Sitting in the car waiting our turn for the road to open back up, I noticed a few Baltimore Orioles in the trees in from the car.
Some of the birds seen on the Sandstone Falls island walk. Great-crested Flycatcher, Chickadee, Cardinal and a Yellow-billed Cuckoo.
I watched two Yellow-billed Cuckoos in a tree top. I was only able to capture one in my photos.
The beautiful Indigo Bunting.
The boardwalk trail leads to several islands at the Sandstone Falls.
Swallowtail butterflies were hanging about.
The Great-crested Flycatcher posed for a photo.
Sandstone Falls is part of the New River Gorge National Park, we stopped at the visitor center for a quick visit. There was this pretty Trumpet Honeysuckle outside the visitor center. I like the display of stones with the message:
"Our Parks, our watersheds, they belong to us all. Each one of us must help to protect the watershed we live in."
I am thankful to all the people who keep their parks, towns and neighborhood clean.
I am thankful to visit our National Parks, our country is beautiful.
I am thankful for the road crews, they have a hard job.
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.
Thank you Michelle for hosting Thankful Thursday.
Thank you to the hosts of Skywatch Friday
Happy Monday, enjoy your day and new week!
Thanks so much for visiting and for your nice comments on my previous post. Have a happy day!
