Our agenda for family visitors included two waterfalls and lunch at Square Root in Brevard. We began at Sunburst Falls, a favorite of grandson David and me. Barbara and Thom entered into the spirit of the thing by posing with the falls.
Barbara went out on the boulders with David, while Thom stayed on the road to take videos. He caught the flighty action of two Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterflies, natives of the region.
I took a shot of the pool below the falls. In this one, I can see the depth of the water that is missing from most of my photos of it. [Note to self: you are babbling. No one cares about this.]
When you look at the two desserts we shared, you’ll know why we try to keep moving. We had Key lime pie and a chocolate cake with a fanciful name that included Spoonful. It probably should have been called Calorie-laden.
Looking Glass Falls is always a stunner. As usual, I stayed at the top while others went down the switchback stairs to the base of the falls. The day was not hot, yet there were swimmers in that cold, cold water. Barbara and Thom put their fingers in to experience it. I think David would like to swim there on a hot day, but I don’t know if anyone else would want to.

Just to save you the agonies of having to look at it I’m quite willing to sacrifice myself and take the Calorie Laden off your hands.

You are so very kind and thoughtful to make such a great sacrifice. I didn’t taste it, so I can’t say how great it was. David and Barbara shared it.

Five of us divided the desserts, so I had half a slice of lime pie.

I’m glad you babbled. I found that one of the most striking parts of this post. The water is so clear!!!! Beautiful.

Because of the angle of the sun, we often cannot see the bottom of that pool.

Beautiful scenery with the waterfalls and I think Nathaniel could duplicate those scrumptious-looking desserts for you.

We need to be looking for more falls that are easily accessible.
