    Unnamed Falls Buttermilk Falls Waterfall Wednesday blog cover

    This week we go to an unnamed waterfall in Buttermilk Falls State Park that almost wasn’t part of my 50 New York Waterfalls project.  I was conflicted about including an unnamed waterfall in the project when all the other waterfalls were main features with their own names.  Ultimately decided this…

    Sweedler Nature Preserve waterfall wednesday blog cover

    Rainbow Falls Waterfall Wednesday blog cover

    “In one place in the island of Hawaii, we saw a laced and ruffled cataract of limpid water leaping from a sheer precipice fifteen hundred feet high; but that sort of scenery finds its stanchest ally in the arithmetic rather than in spectacular effect. If one desires to be so…

    Waterfall Wednesday: Upper Triphammer Falls

    June 12, 2019 /
    Triphammer Upper Falls Waterfall Wednesday blog cover

    I haven’t quite pinned down why this waterfall is one of my favorites.  Maybe it’s because it falls at angular steps.  Maybe it’s because it’s in such an urban setting.  Maybe it’s because it satisfies some need to find out where things start.  Maybe it’s the beautiful lake and waterlilies…

    Minnehaha Falls Waterfall Wednesday blog cover

    Do you know what Minnesota and New York have in common?  They both have a waterfall named Minnehaha Falls.  But do you know which came first and what inspired the name? We’re back again in Watkins Glen State Park today to talk about Minnehaha Falls.  I must admit that this…
