On nice summer days these little cascades of the Lower Falls are teeming with tourists cooling off from the summer heat. When I passed the falls back in December, the temperature was in the teens and the wind-chill forced the “feels-like” temperature below zero. The parking lot was closed off and banks of snow further restricted the limited room for cars in the short driveway.

But there were a couple of cars in the open space available. Kids with their parents (who I assumed did the driving) were as struck by the beauty of the cascades and decided to stop to check them out in spite of the frigid weather.

I stopped too. My fingers froze, but I got this shot.
