Looks calm and peaceful.........oh, but then we got brave and walked over to the bridge, which has the two skinniest lanes of traffic that you can imagine and started snapping there..............
Isn't it cute? It has a tin roof (as did many in the area) and it was just nestled into this little area, all by itself..........but then I looked around and found a pathway down to the river..............yup, you guessed it............more pictures.....
Then I spotted this one shot, I don't know, maybe I am starting to think that I am a photographer or something, but I climbed down this little embankment to get a good shot........hope you like it........
There it was, just this one single day lily, blooming in all of it's glory. I have to admit, this vacation was totally different for me. I usually am starved for the gift shops and such, and trust me I was still in them and ooohing and ahhhhing over all of the wonderful things crafted by the local artists...........but for some unknown reason, I was totally enthralled with the flowers, trees, and houses. We drove around the town for a short time and found this wonderful pottery studio.......
Well then I walked back to where Karen had parked and it was called Alta Day Spa and Boutique...........shoot, I don't know what I was thinking........probably wasn't. Guess the word boutique threw me off (it's easy to do) and I was expecting a whole different inside..........it was mostly a spa. Now I have never had a massage or gone to a spa, so I was just walking around and looking at everything.........and then I spotted the one little area that must have been classified as the boutique area.........handmade jewelry. This jewelry was nice, but I have to say, nothing better than what I offer and it was going for $95 for a bracelet!!!!!! I brazenly asked the woman behind the counter (and she had THE most beautiful skin.........duh.........spa!!!) if they sold a lot of the bracelets..........she said that as soon as it comes in, it goes out.............sigh. Here are a few of the flowers in front of the spa...........I know, I know..........I am on a flower vacation.
I don't know if you notice all of the clouds in the previous pictures, but the blue sky didn't hold for long and it started to rain again..........so we took off for the resort and called it a day...........
