As former president Teddy Roosevelt puts it...behold it is the "Eighth Wonder of the World." The water originates from underground springs above and at the falls. Even during the dry summer months and at 129 feet in height, the water provides an almost constant flow rate of 100 million U.S. gallons / day.

"Every one of us is shadowed by an illusory person, a false self. I wind my experiences around myself and cover myself in glory to make myself perceptible...as if I were an invisible body that could only become visible when something visible covered its surface....But there is no substance under the things with which I am clothed. I am hollow, and my structures of pleasures and ambitions have no foundation. I am my own mistake.....The secret of my identity is hidden in the love and mercy of God."
-Thomas Merton, "Seeds of Contemplation"

Chilling at the nail salon yesterday, waiting for my turn with the amazing Chow.
**UPDATE** On 9/17, I collapsed in my apartment at 0315 in the morning. I felt an intolerable pain going up the right side of my body and was having a difficult time breathing. I was immobilized for about 5 minutes but was finally able to pull myself up off of the floor onto the edge of my bed. I considered very seriously calling EMS/ 911.. The symptoms began lessening to a small degree. I googled the symptoms... I believed that I was experiencing appendicitis. So, instead of calling the ambulance, I decided to drive myself...(Im a very stubborn old broad..)
I arrived to Saint Mark's Hospital in Murray Utah, About 5 miles from my residence. The Doctors and Nurses there did not mess around. (Total rock stars) I was admitted almost immediately and tests were began. The test that likely saved my life that night was the CT scan.. It identified a very sizeable blood clot that had gotten lodged in my lungs. This is known as a Pulmonary embolism and is no joking matter. Had this nasty thing made it to my brain: Stroke or death. Had it made it to my heart: Death. Left unchecked in my lungs: Death.
So.. in a nutshell... I am very fortunate to be alive today. A huge THANK YOU to all the staff, Nurses and Doctors at St Mark's Hospital for saving my life. :)

I look around and all I see are shadows. Shadows of where I once was, who I used to be, what I might have been. Sometimes it seems I don't even know who I am anymore. Where is this world taking me? Back to the shadows in my mind.
I love to go for walks and just set my mind free. It is so liberating to be all alone with my thoughts in an unexpectedly beautiful place.
This is probably my all time favorite picture that I've taken.
