It is located at the end of the cave path in the historic Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Before reaching the waterfalls, one will marvel at the many unique geological wonders found along the cave path... At the end of the cave tour one will be rewarded by the breathtaking sight of Ruby Falls. The lights on the ground just below the waterfall change its colors every 30 seconds and it gives an even more beautiful effect of the sight. However, one will have only 5 minutes to enjoy the sight and after that, all the lights are turned off. It signals that the tour has already ended so the people has to go back to the same path they trod in going to the falls. But the last 5 minutes of the tour inside the cavern is the best part of it because one will behold the "Jewel of the Lookout Mountain", that is Ruby http://pinkprincess031006.multiply.com/photos/album/169/The_Lookout_Mountain_Cavern_and_The_Ruby_Falls Tue, 3 Jun 2008 19:24:34 -0000 The park and a few of its attractions.

I just thought it's fun doing so :) At one time, there were 16 caterpillars that were munching on our butterfly weeds! It's kind of scary looking at them but the thought that one day they'll turn into one of the most beautiful creatures just amazes me :) It took me long to get a picture of the monarch butterfly because it's just so elusive, it will fly away whenever I tried to get a closer shot of it. Right now, the butterfly weeds are bald because all its leaves are eaten by the caterpillars and there are 2 cocoons in our fence that haven't opened http://pinkprincess031006.multiply.com/photos/album/159/Special_Project Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:46:01 -0000 <P><FONT face="arial, helvetica" size=2>Chris got this recipe from the internet and I just copied it from the site (I couldn't remember the site though).

Each house seems to compete each other on the magnificence of their Christmas ornaments. I've never seen anything like that before. It feels like I was out of this world when I saw such fancy and intricate decorations for the Christmas holidays... These are just a few of the photos I took on that night.

Each November at Lost Maples State Natural Area, bigtooth maple trees transform into a spectacular blace of red, yellow and orange hues.

I like convertible cars so I'm posting a separate album just for these cars :) I don't know the exact model no. of these cars so I'm only stating the manufacturer's name based on the logo I find in front of the cars.

The sunset was so beautiful and I was so glad to catch a glimpse of the rays of the setting sun. The sunset has been one of my favorite subjects to shoot pictures. When we were getting nearer to Houston, the skies got darker until it has started to pour. But I was able to enjoy taking photos of the skies above while I still could before the rain blur the view of the windshield. All photos are taken while Chris is driving 65-70mph.

There are over 4,500 species of animals which are permanent residents of the zoo. But I took pictures of only a few, I don't have enough memory card for I also take picture of the animals' identification. I believe the zoo's real attractions are the aquariums filled with so many beautiful underwater creatures. It was my first time to see fishes of different colors, I especially liked the blue ones and the pink ones, I think they're so http://pinkprincess031006.multiply.com/photos/album/114/Houston_Zoo_Animals Wed, 15 Aug 2007 07:25:48 -0000 <font size="2">10.

Lee.<br>He's the same person whom I've known only here in multiply through his photography and blogs. I remember the first time I saw his posted photos in his site; right then, I became an instant fan of his photography talent and upon seeing that I visited his site, he invited me to become his contact as an online buddy here in Multiply. Thus we became connected...I visit his site often just to admire his photography and how very good he is at it. I always look forward to his new albums and blogs, because aside from being informative, his posts are also entertaining. <br><br>We've exchanged a few pms when I was just new in this site because I asked him how to enhance the settings of my page and he was kind enough to answer my queries.
