Description Russell Falls in Mount Field National Park, Tasmania, Australia.  This, unlike the next 2 we visited along this walk, was just 500 metres from the carpark.  Though the carpark had been a long and winding drive, 73 kms from Hobart, down some of the narrowest roads on the planet! The story and more photos of our travels is at www.mayl.id.au
Kindly requested by and featured by   Recent Happenings and New FeatureHello to all my dear friends and watchers! A lot has been going on in my life lately, (all good ), which is why I haven't been on here. My dad is getting remarried, which is good because I hate to see him all depressed. My new Momsy is a total sweetheart and I am very happy to be adding her to our family. They will be getting married on March 7th. I am pretty excited, this is going to be the first wedding I have attended. Well, enough about me and on to the feature!
This is just a feature of some of my recent faves. They are all beautiful artworks and I want you all to be sure to visit their profiles and sned them some love! Now, without further ado, here is the beautiful collection!

Kindly featured by   Angel without Wings AwardI am so humbled to have been awarded an Angel without Wings award.

This is truly an honour for me and I thank my wonderful friends Bev :iconArtBybeverly: and Vasi :iconVasiDGallery: from the bottom of my heart for nominating me for this award. :iconthankiesplz:  You are both so special to me and it's the gestures like this that make you both such valuable friends.  I adore you both so much.  :iconadoration-plz:
Thank you to Natasha :iconNameda: and to the kind artists and Gangstas of Love who have mentioned and featured me.  I figured that as they are so busy promoting the recipients of the Angel without Wings awards that it would be nice to do a feature for them so here it is.  Please go and visit them and take a look at their galleries.  They are all amazing people.

May, these Russell Falls photos are simply stunning! They could have come from a print shop, for real! Would it be all right if I made a journal for FaerieBert with them? If not, I completely understand.

Thanks for asking my dear JKL and yes of course you may.  I really look forward to seeing your work when it's done   Will I be able to use the skin too?  And if not then *I* completely understand.  I'm so happy that you like them and thank you so much for your beautiful words

Thank you so much, May! Of course you can use the skin! My sis has her heart set on a jungle full of fairies. Would you like the same version or one with no fairies?

Fairies sound very beautiful, and very suitable for that scene.

Alright, I will let you know when it is done! I have some other CSS stuff lined up first, so it may be awhile. Also, would it be alright if I could have access to download the original files? I know you have them for prints only, so I can understand if you'd rather not.

Either Note me when you want them and I'll unlock it for a while, or Note me your email address and I'll email them to you.  I'm guessing you could receive them at 5 meg each by email?  I know we emailed a while ago but I didn't keep your address.

Tasmania & the Northern Territory are the only 2 states in Australia that I haven't been to. I've often been told that Tassie is lovely, but it's history really puts me off it - you know?  I hope that you & your husband had a really lovely, relaxing time there.

Lovely photograph!!!

Thank you so much dear Renee
Very busy at the moment writing the story about our recent holiday to Tasmania but hope to
  be back chatting very soon.  If you want to look at photos and the story have a peek at
                                             www.mayl.id.au/?page_id=2671
Tassie is so beautiful and green, and small (which you'd be used to, being a country girl).
NT is wonderful and tropical and small.  I wouldn't live there if you want to swim in the ocean
but it's gorgeous otherwise.  There's a story about our Darwin holiday on that site too.

How do you find such beautiful images to put on your comments? No, don't tell me - I'll just sit back & enjoy them instead.

It's a real treat to know you & be your friend, May dear.

To be honest I was going to gift this to you for your Avalon, but I couldn't see a
reference to any waterfalls in Avalon.

It was the first of 3 falls for those who chose to do the stairs/walk to see
                                               them.

And you want to see the others?  Hehehe - you'll have to be patient.  I'm absolutely drowning in things to do, and still have David off work until Monday afternoon.  Oh if only I could do 6 things at once, I'd have a clean house and all my hobbies in overdrive

Did the do the whole walk for the 3 falls?  After Lady Barron falls there was
a steep set of wooden stairs (that looked new) that we had to climb.  I
think there were about 250 steps - just what you need after walking 6 kms
on relatively flat terrain.  Well, the 200 steps between Russell and Horseshoe
were forgotten by then lol

daniellepowell82 In reply to MayEbony [2013-11-30 02:25:00 +0000 UTC]

i did not do the 3 falls walk as i did not know about it just went straight to Russell falls

MayEbony In reply to daniellepowell82 [2013-11-30 03:32:11 +0000 UTC]

Russell Falls were the best, followed by Horseshoe Falls which were a short walk up 204 steps.  The further 6km hike up hill and down dale, to Lady Barron Falls, ending in 250 steps upwards was a bit of a let down compared to these 2.

It was such joy to us to experience a waterfall in real life, we just don't
live in a place that has such features in nature.
