Chasing Waterfalls

Another photographer and I went to check out a waterfall she knew of this morning. I was expecting a  small cascade of rocks with a bit of water, maybe a good run of water with all the snow melting lately. When we parked the car, I could hear the roaring and knew it was going to be a very impressive trickle! We had to slip and slide our way over the terrain but got to the site without incident (and by incident I mean me tumbling down a rocky hillside!). I loved the site!!! I'd like to go back sometime with a tripod and try some long exposures and different lighting for fun! This was a quick snap today and trying to keep the camera steady in my hands to get some water blur. Not too bad but I didn't spend much time on it. This would be such a nice location for portraits! I'll have to find some unsuspecting family to drag out here when the weather improves and the ground dries up a bit.

The weather was beautiful for the first day of spring! It was so nice in fact, I even felt like taking down my  winter decorations off the bannister (ok Mum? happy???). The girls wanted to play outside after school and then after supper we went downtown to bike the trails. We didn't have much time and they were disappointed to come home so soon. We'll have to go back another time! They've been a bit tired lately, especially Honey. When I go to wake her up in the morning, she cries and doesn't want to get up. Since she's so fast, I can let her sleep an extra 15 minutes and she's still the first one out the door!
