Spring Falls

And there goes the snow. Just like that, winter loosens its icy grip and the waters rage through Hog's Back Falls once again ... nearly cresting the "hog's back" itself — that ridge of limestone you can see from the river. We glance at these Falls from the car maybe a dozen times a week all year round. But we park and get out to look just once. On a sunny weekend morning in late March or early April, we walk the length of pathway around the rapids, and we marvel at the volume and power of the spring run-off. Sam says, "I could stand and watch this all day..." Amazing.
