Happy Thursday,
At the end of June, hubby and I visited East Stroudsburg Pennsylvania and the Delaware Watergap. The area is known for it's many waterfalls. On our first day we went to the Bushkill Falls, this is the only waterfalls where you pay an entrance fee. It was worth paying the fee, this waterfall and hike was awesome. There are a lot of steps, going up and down. I felt like I got a work out. Here are some of my photos from the Bushkill Falls, I included a couple of Baltimore Oriole photos, showing the sky for more Skywatch entry.
My pretty sky and a couple of Baltimore Orioles sitting in the tree tops at Bushkill Falls.

There were many Rhododendrons growing along the trails.

A wonderful place for a walk Eileen. There's nothing more relaxing than listening to the sound of water and I love seeing Rhododendrons growing wild. Yours are such beautiful colours.

The boardwalk is fun.
It's been over 40 years since I've been there. It's STILL beautiful.
You take wonderful photos.
Waterfalls and rhodies....reminds me of the PNW.
Honey you are a pro! These are wonderful. I believe a Kill means that it was named by the Dutch
Like the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia
Lovely area for a hike, love the boardwalk. Your photos are beautiful, I like the Osprey from your previous post :-)
There is something so thrilling about a waterfall!
Impressive boardwalk.
Glorious series, Eileen! I love the falls and all the views here! Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow, it certainly was worth paying the entrance fee, lovely scenes from your camera. The waterfall, flowers, everything just looks great.
All the best Jan
Impressive falls with a cool looking boardwalk going over them. I'm not partial to steps but I bet it's worth it.
Some wonderful nature photographs here, thanks for sharing :)

Wow! Pretty waterfall! We might get out to see Swallow Falls next week when we are up in MD, visiting family. Two years ago, when visiting there, I saw a Baltimore Oriole on a cousin's feeder. Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful place with wonderful things to see!
Well now, thanks to you and Linda I have another place to put on our bucket list. Thank you Eileen, great photos as always. Have a great weekend :)
What a shame you couldn't get closer to the orioles Eileen.
