red river gorge and the beauty of kentucky



some pictures from my trip to kentucky, and in particular, my visit to the majestic red river gorge and natural bridge...on a perfect kentucky mountain day of 75 degrees with sunny skies.  i've also included pictures from my grandmother and aunt's wonderful garden.
