Haven't played Waterfall Wednesday before, and I didn't have anything in the pipeline as far as waterfalls go, so this is a repost of something I loaded into Flickr soon after I first joined...it didn't get a lot of flickrlove, but at that point, I didn't really understand the whole 'community' part of of the deal, I was just looking for a gallery option.
Regardless of the preamble, Happy Waterfall Wednesday.
Another of this photogenic waterfall in the gorge. Yes, I do have more from last saturdays trip to post, but I'll be throwing some slightly older ones in the mix, too. This is one I never got around to posting from my trip to fairy falls.
Happy waterfallwednesday, and happy cinco de mayo!

Niagara Falls - Canada
Niagara Falls (/na?'ægr?/ ny-AG-ra) is a Canadian city on the western bank of the Niagara River in the Golden Horseshoe region of Southern Ontario, with a population of 82,997 at the 2011 census. The municipality was incorporated on June 12, 1903. Across the Niagara River is Niagara Falls, New York.
The city is dominated by the Niagara Falls, a world-famous set of three large waterfalls on the Niagara River. Both the American and Horseshoe falls can be best seen from the Canadian side of the river, so the city has one of the major tourist attractions of the world. The natural spectacle attracts millions of tourists yearly.
This area, which stretches along the Niagara Parkway and tourist promenade, is particularly concentrated at the brink of the falls. Apart from the natural attractions along the river, it includes observation towers, high-rise hotels, souvenir shops, casinos and theatres, mostly with colourful neon billboards and advertisements, and sufficient parking to accommodate visitors. Further to the north or south, golf courses are operated alongside historic sites from the War of 1812.

This area was long part of the Iroquois Confederacy territory: five powerful First Nations mostly along the southern edge of the Great Lakes. The Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca were based largely in present-day New York, ranging from east near the Hudson River, to western areas of Seneca Lake and along Ontario and other Great Lakes.
The Niagara Falls area has had some European settlement since the 17th century. Louis Hennepin, a French priest and missionary, is regarded as the first European to visit the area in the 1670s. French colonists settled mostly in Lower Canada, beginning near the Atlantic, and in Quebec and Montreal. Increased settlement in this area took place during and after the American Revolutionary War, when the British Crown made land grants to Loyalists to help them resettle in Upper Canada and provide some compensation for their losses after the United States became independent. Loyalist Robert Land received 200 acres (81 ha) and was one of the first people of European descent to settle in the Niagara Region. He moved to nearby Hamilton three years later due to the relentless noise of falls.
Tourism started in the early 19th century and has been a vital part of the local economy since that time. The falls became known as a natural wonder, in part to their being featured in paintings by prominent American artists of the 19th century such as Albert Bierstadt. Such works were reproduced as lithographs, becoming widely distributed. In addition, Niagara Falls markets itself as a honeymoon destination; it is the self-proclaimed "honeymoon capital of the world."
In 1856, the Town of Clifton was incorporated. The name of the town was changed to Niagara Falls in 1881. In 1882, the community of Drummondville (located near the present-day corner of Lundy's Lane and Main Street) was incorporated as the village of Niagara Falls. The village was referred to as Niagara Falls South to differentiate it from the town. In 1904, the town and village amalgamated to form the City of Niagara Falls.

This waterfall had so much force that the silt from the bottom of the lake churned like a pot of coffee brewing.
It was over 90 degrees at Mendenhall Glacier the day I took this. So unusual for Alaska to be this hot. However, the sunny hot weather did not stop people from swimming in Mendenhall Lake! There were a few areas like jetties that were a little more shallow and with the heat made the water warm enough to swim in.
To the left of this great waterfall was the actual glacier. To get to the sandy area by the waterfall there was a small stepping stone bridge. The walk back to the main center was about 1 mile.
Happy Waterfall Wednesday!
Abiqua Falls taken with borrowed glass. Gaz tossed me his Tokina 11-16 just to tease me I think. :) I gotta git me one o them thingy ma bobs. :)
I spent the day with Flickr Friends Gaz and Cliff Zener. We hit Silver Falls State Park and Abiqua Falls. What a great couple of guys. :)
Trail review, map & more photography.
Located where the San Jacinto Mountains meet the Coachella Valley on the Southwest edge of Palm Springs, the trail to Tahquitz Canyon Falls is a mostly easy stroll with occasional steps and 300 feet in elevation gain. The falls itself is further 60 feet in height, though it feels even taller in person.
I went to the hike up to the Big Four Ice Caves this past weekend with my boyfriend. It was amazing how many little waterfalls there were coming off the mountains behind the caves. We decided to explore away from the main one (which had kids and crazy people running around in it) and went up to the right until we found a couple of different spots that were just beautiful.. this was one of them...
i kind of had to keep it tight for this comp because of the breakneck angle i would had to have been at in order to get the ones coming off the top of the mountain, so i just focused on this little spa-loosh as m calls it~ :)
First time here with my new gear that Ive gotten something decent enough to post! Its worth a once a season visit, I suppose. Also, for this shot, I was hoping that getting there just after the sun coming up I would get an empty bridge... nope. Had to clone the buggers out. Happy spring time!!

Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina
A look back to my visit to North Carolina last month for autumn. I wasn't in love totally with what I got here, but at least a little foliage for framing the fall.
For Waterfall Wednesday!
I guess hiking for about 2 miles in the opposite direction before finding this waterfall was worth it! HAH!
