Swallow Falls State Park

It was much colder than we anticipated.
For such a bright, sunny day, we froze our behinds off.
Cold gives way for a lot of beauty though.

 Woodpeckers go to town on the dead trees.

It looks like they peck into infinity....

Owl pellets are a cool find too.
I really wanted to take it home to dissect it (and find tiny bones?) but I resisted the urge and stayed true to the park rules.

 WATER FALLS!!
Really strong, rushing, churning water.
It was really neat.

 See?
Kora thought so.
This was her first time seeing Muddy Creek Falls.
I think it was worth trudging out in the freezing cold (that makes your tiny baby nose bright pink).

Sweet Isabella is not fond of heights.
Not one bit.

But then, look how brave.

Hooray for icicles, rushing water, splashes and the rainbows they create, sunshine, hemlocks and all the unspoiled places in nature.
