Very nice. We're headed there in a couple months (late June) and I can't wait to shoot! I like the last waterfall one!

Yeah, it's a cool place. I've been living 20 minutes away for almost a year now and this is the first time I went. They closed down the indoor exhibitions for a garden & antique show this weekend, and it was an absolute zoo with all the people/vendors from the show, and the fact it was the first nice day of the year didn't help with the crowds. We still had a great time though.

Lol, just noticed there's a duck sleeping on the top of the last waterfall shot. He blended in so well I never saw him until now!
