Sharing Time
(5-7-5 Poetry) On white sandstone cliffs Among the Indian Caves Spent time carving names Sparkling stream was high Warm sun beating on the sand Pathways through the woods Hand holds on a ledge Just above the waterfalls Strong hand holds young trust Passing passion on From older to the young one Shared time and values |
Spend another day with my grandson. One place, of several outdoor spots we went,was to Battle Creek Park. There are caves and sandstone cliffs there. Brought the camera and binoculars along. The picture above shows one cave we went in. To get there we had to scale a ledge above a waterfalls. Sandstone in soft, and there are handholds dug into the cliff, just like a climbing wall. At one spot he had to jump down. To get back up, he needed to use the hand and foot holds, and at one point, I had to reach over, grab his hand, and pull him up. It was quite an adventure. Being a typical boy, he loved it. We also carved our initials in the wall of the cave, like many others have down in the past. PS. Don't tell his mom!
This picture is of the cave we had to scale the cliff to get to. You can't see it in the picture, but there is a stream that cuts in front of that cave. In summer the water level is low enough to wade or jump across. With the runoff from recent snows, it was a torrent. Took this picture in April 2011.
