Wilson Dam, Florence AL

Saturday we went to the Wilson Dam... Shady, windy and COOOOOOOLD!!! LOL
(not 'bad', for pics from my phone.. eh?) :)










As we walked down the trail, seeing the magnificent splendor of man's formation and the trillions of gallons of water cascading from the dam walls on our left.... on our right was a 'different' kind of splendor... :) even 'more' beautiful... the conception of God... bubbling forth from streams and waterfalls protruding from the mammoth walls of rock :) :) :)






would be neat to take an adventure 'inside'.... not sure how far it goes.. but would be neat :)










the end of the trail.... :) a BEAUTIFUL CLIMACTIC PRESENTATION!!! :)

the captivating splendor of nature... mixed w/ a lil 'fun'...!!!! :)

I don't think that there is anything more enchanting or tranquil... than the captivating beauty and simplicity of nature... that which demands respect and yet courts such elegance and grace... rather charming!! :) don'tchya think?! :) :) :)




So... this flirting flame and a previous glance in a 'hidden realm' of 'treasure' sparked a GREAT IDEA!!!! :) :) :) :) (ha, no pun intended... lol- just 'caught' that lol)





The dancing flames simmered down to just the 'perfect' atmosphere to relish in creating the evening's delightful 'treat'!!



I had never seen such an enormous roasting scewer before...!!! The 'hidden treasure' too was 'xtra large'!!So, they paired quite nicely... :)



and we had unmistakably scrumptious results!!! :)

A rather sticky, but very 'sweet' way to end the day... :)

The offical pics--- in LARGE... :)

The official pics... again....
but this time, posted in LARGE.... I tried to see if it would be 'better' to upload them in LARGE instead of SMALL... they were a LOT harder to manage (organize)... but i am glad i already 'did' it (made the small version) beforehand so i knew the 'order' i wanted them in... but anyway... but some of the pics STILL came out really small.. like i said... it was the size it was taken in... so I'm sorry...but maybe this is a tad better??? (for the rest of the pics anyway) ENJOY! :) :) :)
