The brave don't live forever. The cautious don't live at all.--shango

Howdy Howdy all!

 

Okay I know you have been biting your fingernails and holding your breath waiting for pictures of Natural Bridge Caverns! Well I am here to oblige. I had so much fun in these caverns that I am just gonna post photos with as little commentary as possible......

This is where the jawbone of a black bear was found:

I thought this was pretty neat and so very pretty

OOOhhhh panoramic

Who's hungry?

Nice!

 

I had to stop a million times to rest on the way back up...check out the depth. There was so little oxygen at this depth that as soon as we got down there we had to turn around immediately and head back up....We were informed that on an earlier tour that someone had to be carried out by four men. hmmm maybe I should have tried that!

 

This walking stick insect was waiting for us when we made it back to the top! Isnt it cool!?

Well that's all for now, how about some poetry...here goes...

 

A Dream Within A Dream

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream? --Edgar Allan Poe
