Overview from poster in gift shop -- the left side is Brazil, the right side is Argentina Our first view after arriving at the hotel After a short hike on the Brazil side The view from the end of walkway in the previous picture Panorama looking over the walkway Another panorama from the top of an observation tower Our hotel in the Brazilian National Park And the sunset from the roof of the hotel On the Brazil side you get glorious sweeping views of the falls, on the Argentina side you get a more up-close and personal experience At the top of the falls: At the bottom of the falls: On the island in the middle of the falls: You can even take a boat ride right up to (and into) one of the falls And you can cross a lengthy walkway .... that takes you to the top of the largest part of the falls ...

Sand hill crane and her babies wandering through the neighborhood

My portable herb garden. I put it next to the white wall to get good reflection. To bad it is on the west side of the house. I have to water almost daily. Come on cold weather. Another day of 80 degrees or warmer today. Ho-hum!

The old ones are the best. There are a few "old" lilacs in my neighborhood and they are wonderful to walk past. I have a "new" lilac and it has produced flowers only once......and they had no smell. :(
