sand sculptures

We recently visited the 7th Annual Siesta Key 

Crystal Sand Sculpture Classic on Siesta Beach

 America's #1 Beach it has become a favorite of the professional sand sculptors 

.Citing the beauty and cleanliness of the pristine white sand, sculptors have remarked 

that their sculptures look almost as if they were "carved in marble." 

It is always fun to share our

adventures with good friends.

eternal flame falls

On our “leaf ride” this week we ventured to Chestnut Ridge Park, 

about six miles from New Era Field 

where our beloved Buffalo Bills play.

After lunch among the beautiful foliage we headed to 

the Eternal Flame Falls trail leading to a small waterfall

 located in the Shale Creek Preserve.

The hike isn't very long--only about 3/4 of a mile,

 but after about halfway, it did get a bit precarious.

The trail to the Eternal Flame can be rather slippery in places, 

especially once you descend into the Gorge 

and begin walking in the creek bed.

A small grotto at the waterfall's base emits natural gas, 

which has been lit to produce a small flame. 

This flame is visible nearly year round.

The shale from which Eternal Flame Falls 

draws its gas is
cooler, younger and shallower, 

than typical gas-bearing shale.

It was an adventurous hike 

through a peaceful forest 

with beautiful views 

to reach the 

“flame behind the waterfall”

Only thing missing . . .
