We haven't had a very pretty fall this year, been very cool and rainy. But, this past weekend was really nice, so we drove down to Cumberland Falls to enjoy the last of the remaining warm days. Color wasn't as pretty as it usually is, but it was warm enought to get out and enjoy.


Update on the Secretariat movie I posted about previously (way up on the board, about to roll off):   It has a pretty impressive cast. I mentioned Diane Lane and John Malkovich. I saw Malkovich several times while they were shooting the paddock scenes. Also in the movie are Fred Thompson (former GOP Pres candidate, Law & Order). Don't like his politics, but he will make a terrific Bull Hancock (owner of Claiborne). Also, Kevin Connolly (Entourage).


Went to Keeneland last weekend.

Gozzip Girl cost me a few bucks in the QE II. Thought she would come through, but she came in 3rd!


Here's another pic of Calmuet, which is next to Keeneland.   You can see this from the highway.



One of my grandsons (I have 6!) went to the Falls with us.


 

 

Me having a pretty bad hair day! (We went down close to the falls and I got ''misted'').


 

 

Riding the trail at Cumberland Falls.    I was riding behind my grandson, and snapped these.

 

 
 
I sure hate to see the end of the nice weather!

HUGE horse racing fan here!  The pics are awesome!  I miss Keeneland.  Hey, we should handicap the upcoming BC races.  Go Zenyatta and Einstein!

  • I've seen it several times. If fact, I have a beautiful picture of it taken by my son, a professional photographer. Did you know the only other falls where you can see the Moonbow is Victoria Falls in Africa?...KY

    Just beautiful.  I have not been horseback riding in a long while.  I will have to put that on my things to do list on my next vacation.  Thanks for sharing your photos.

  • Love horseback riding, but not fortunate enough to own my own horse. That would be a dream come true!....KY

    I lived in KY for a year and thought it was such a pretty state.  Thanks, Kentucky, for bringing back memories with those beautiful pics!

  • What part of the state did you live in, and did you do much ''sightseeing'' while living here? There's just so much so see and do here....we have the best state park system in the nation..and there's always the horses! I was born here and lived here all my life. I can't imagine living anywhere else, although I love to visit other states...KY
  • I lived in Richmond, can't recall the name of the university there but spent a lot of time on campus. I also visited a couple of state parks, Lexington and Louisville. I could kick myself for not going to the Kentucky Derby that year. - Peridot
  • Small World!......Eastern Kentucky University --- my Alma Mater! ....KY
  • How about that, small world! EKU had some nice concerts and recitals the year I was there. I could walk there from my house. - Peridot
