Totally awesome Lisa. The addition of color to the falls is brilliant !! I love it !! #6474642

Lisa J. Boulden September 19, 2008
Thank you ALL for your wonderful comments!
Judi, the color on the falls is from the nightly colored light display on the cascades. No need for me to add any color. If you ever get to the falls, you've gotta see them at night, when the color patterns change randomly, every few minutes.
Blessings, Lisa♥ #6474676

Dave Blewett September 19, 2008
