Advice from a waterfall

Let your cares fall away

Roar with excitement

Go with the flow

Make a splash

These are some of the birds and butterflies I saw while staying at the Cumberland Falls Resort State Park in Kentucky.

Taken on May 7th 2018, a  Spotted Sandpiper was seen along the river right before the top of the Cumberland Falls.

A Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly seen on some wild azaleas near the Eagle Falls.

American Goldfinch outside the resort lodge.

This fat groundhog was seen outside the restaurant window at the lodge. I think it was watching me eat my breakfast, wishing he could join us.

I enjoyed watching this Song Sparrow playing in the water on the river's edge above the falls.

I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.





I appreciate and thank everyone who links up their post and for all the wonderful comments!

I am sad to hear about the loss of one of our old Skywatch friends Luiz Ramos from Brazil. He passed away June 21st. Luiz Ramos facebook page. Luiz was a very nice blogging friend, one of my first friends from when I started blogging. He helped run the Skywatch meme and also had a Flower Meme party. He will be missed, prayers for Luiz and his family. 

These are some images from our road trip, more from the Cumberland Falls Resort State Park. We spend one night and two days at the park. On this day we hiked to the Eagle Falls, located down river from the Cumberland Falls. 

The trail to Eagle Falls is across the river from the Cumberland Falls trail. See my previous post for the Cumberland Falls.

It was a pretty sky day.

This is the Eagle Falls, a harder hike than the easy Cumberland Falls trail.

The Eagle Falls was pretty.

The Eagle Falls trail had a lot of boulders around the river.

Walking back the Eagle Falls trail to the car.

Song Sparrow next to the river.

I am thankful for the first trail blazers, they make it easier for me to hike the trails.  

I am thankful to see pretty puffy white clouds and a blue sky!

I am thankful for all your visits and comments.

Cumberland Falls Resort State Park

Happy Monday,

I am continuing our road trip. After leaving Mammoth Cave NP and Bowling Green Kentucky we headed to our next night stay at the Cumberland Falls Resort State Park.

This is a Google map of our road trip. The trip dates were from May 1st to may 11th.



On May 7th-8th we stayed at the  Cumberland Falls Resort Lodge,. We had a nice room in the lodge for the night. Their restaurant was perfect for dinner and breakfast the next day.

A view of the river above the falls.

Pretty sure this is a Song Sparrow, seen near the river's edge.

Rainbow at the Cumberland Falls.

The recent rain helped the falls look great with lots of water.

Me and my shadow at the falls.

The view of the river and park  from the resort's restaurant. I was happy to see a worker come along and fill all the bird feeders outside the windows.

Thanks for your visit today!  I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.
