This is my contribution for Skywatch Friday. It was taken just about two years ago around this time of year at Niagra Falls, NY.This place is still awe inspiring when you visit.It is amazing the sheer volume of water that falls over the falls here. I remember that when you were walking along by the side of it you could almost feel the vibration of the falls thru the ground on your feet.
I also would like to add my contributions to One Single Impression. The topic this week was change.
Glaciers melt
as earth becomes warmer
Planet in crisis.
Walking in the night
Frogs singing their mating call
Springtimes Alarm Clock.
Hope you all have a good weekend.
People say that walking on water is a miracle; but to me, walking peacefully on Earth is the real miracle."Thich Nhat Hanh

This is a marvelous photo. It's been so long since I've seen Niagara Falls. Just beautiful...
A wonderful photo.
Very well captured! :)))
Happy weekend.
This is a stunning photo, and your poems are equally gorgeous. I'm not so far from these falls, so I think I should give them a try on your recommendation!
This is a gorgeous photo of Niagara Falls and your poem is wonderful! Thanks for the link to One Single Impression. I’ve joined the blogroll and plan to share poetry of my own on one (or both) of my blogs … perhaps starting tomorrow at Sacred Ruminations with this first prompt. As always … I love the quote. Thich Nhat Hanh is a favorite of mine.
Hugs and blessings,
That is a gorgeous picture!
And to answer your question: Fairfield Glade is in east Tennessee on the Cumberland Plateau. Nashville is about 116 miles to the west & Knoxville is about 75 miles to the east of us. The closest town is little ole Crossville.
Stunning and wondeful captured photo! Happy Friday Yolanda :)
Oh my gosh - this is absolutely breathtaking!!! Amazing!
Love the photo of the Falls from the American side. Is that the Casino I can see on the Canadian side?
Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,
Mary

Stunning photo!
Thanks for dropping by my blog.
This is a fantastic image!

Those frogs are also guaranteed insomnia some nights, grin. I enjoyed these.
The photo is incredible. I have only seen Snoqualmie Falls, taller, but so much smaller and I found it incredible, I can only imagine the wonder of what you saw.
Hi,
That is just amazing! I'm deafened by the roar of the water!
What a beautiful photo, it's awe inspiring.
stunning photo! I love great waterfalls though I've never been to Niagra. Your first haiku has an important message!
beautiful picture...
Hey Yolanda,
What a beautifull spring water, wonderfull and so lovely:)
Thanks for visiting my skywach Friday, and enjoy your weekend too!
Greetings from JoAnn Holland
Your picture is fantastic and shows the beauty of the Falls.
If you have the chance to visit the Falls during the winter, covered in snow and ice..looks like winter wonderland.
cheers from Toronto.
Very impressive, I wish I could see it in person.
Beautiful image and an interesting mix of environmentalism and the freshness of spring's start.
I love the Thich Nhat Hanh quote ... and your poems are a clear reminder to the short and long-term changes in nature. Peace, JP/deb
Yolanda, Gorgeous picture of the Falls. Went there on my honeymoon! Love your haiku. Beautiful! My "One Single IMpression is here :)
One excellent image, great post.
This is a very beautiful photo. Looks like a postcard
Very impressive picture. This is a place I would love to visit.
Thanks, for the nice comment about my beach photo, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I liked your Niagra photo, most pictures I see are taken from are head on, I liked this different perspective.
No matter how many pics or videos you see of the Falls, it is still awe-inspiring when you experience it in person! Lovely, lovely photo!
I saw the falls when I was 13, and your photo reminds me about why I want to go back someday. Truly awesome shot.
Yolanda,
This photo brings wonderful memories! I took my sons to Niagara back in 2001. We did Journey Behind the Falls on the Canadian side, and we actually stood behind the roaring waters. It was ... in a word... awesome.
Thanks for an uplift during this time in my life!
What an image. This is a terrific photo. I have always wanted to see those falls. Someday I will make it there.
Just beautiful. Both photo & verse.
My family has been here for a wonderful vacation so I love this shot.I have been keeping up with your blog since Susannah's postcard swap back during the summer. You have an amazing and inspiring blog. Tried to email you to tell you this. I have noticed you have been commenting on my blog.Thanks for your kind comments. They made my day.
Wow! Fantastic shot! I have never been to Niagra Falls...I would love to visit.
Your poem is very nice as well!
WoW..this is a very beautifully captured shot...lovely view!
