West Virginia earns its name on these! Heres some of my favorite shots of his pond. Not particularly the lilies. I tried not to post to many closeups where the color on my camera is not as good as his. I dont want to post poor pictures of such beauty he has worked so hard on developing...... But is this beauty at its bsst or what!

He has horses that followed us around. They escorted my van in and escort us out.. They are definately huge babies who had to have their hugs and wanted their rumps patted and got that after they gave their hugs.

Hope you enjoy this half as much as I did seeing it all. oh and since I dont have frogs to post to all those "post your insects, frogs etc" posts yall have, I borrowed one from Tmikes pond.. isnt this adorable.

Beautiful. If all worked out right I would have been taking that tour this weekend. Work decided to withhold 1 week pay starting this next pay period so we tightened the belt and decided not to visit my brother-in-law this weekend. My company not only got into my pocket, it seems they got into my eyes, memories and heart. I hope to take this journey one day soon. Thanks for the wonderful pics.

Mike, I still want to drive the tractor!!!!

I wanted to come along too. If only the girl at work would have switched with me. I've worked so many times for her. I've been working nearly 6 days a week and I'm part-time. She's part time and only works 3 or 4 days a week and still needs off 1/2 the time.

I'm drooling looking over all the pictures, it sure sounds like you all had a great time. Awww, the horses. I would have been torn which way to go, the ponds of the horses.

Glad it was an overcast day for you all.

Psssst, whens the next tour.

ky kim.. you message me any time you want to go and I am ready to go again! You could head down the night before and spend the night and we could get a early start.. were gonna need it to WALK up to that pond.. no way would I ever drive to it again hehehhe.

You can ask Bonnie I am fairly normal so you would be safe spending the night with me

You really need more time to visit it than we had.

The massive amounts of blooms of the lilies is awesome. I'm still coazing my lily to even start growing a bud. That was just beautiful.

tinkster · « **Reply #18 on:** July 05, 2009, 06:36:12 PM »

KY kim... That is gonna be up past us probably 3 hours or so.. probably about the same from tmike after you manage to get back out of his paradise to the interstate. But if you were gonna visit him, you would have to pass by me and mike both
