Ithaca Falls Progression from Drought to Moderate Rainfall
A couple weeks ago I wrote a memory of my past based on this inspired spot.
I mentioned how I came to be here was a party an Ithaca College party thrown by buddies of my then Crush, Now Hubs- this is the house on the corner, the catalyst for a night swimming event I will never forget-
If you look across the street from the house, you can see a bridge. At the time, there was no formal path so we just climbed down through the trees to the river :)
That was a sidebar I thought worth mentioning- what I wanted to show you today is what happens after just a few days of rain following a droughty summer.
Check out these short clips for an up close and personal view of my spot that nearly went under water. (And to hear me gab in the first two, as I do, ha)
I was thinking of doing a longer one of these next two for white noise- yay or nay?
There is a pretty striking difference between this clip...
...and this one, but we actually haven't seen anything yet!
Over the past week I've spent my breaks shopping for the birthday party I wrote about yesterday
During this time we had some serious torrential rains.
So tomorrow when I head back here I fully expect all of this to be under water.
The progression of Ithaca Falls from near drought to near flood is pretty incredible.. I've seen it before and always I am awed by mother nature.
Unfortunately it will probably mean there will be no where for me to sit here on my breaks... fortunately there is no shortage of places in the area to explore, so stay tuned!
As always, Make it a great day Hive Peeps!
Damn I gotta get up there one of these days. Looks like an awesome place to go hiking, climate looks kind of similar to what I found in Ohio. You guys going to make it to Splinterfest?
This is just one of Many many parks and waterfalls in my area :) Hopefully next summer isn't as dry, especially if you do make a trip, it's always awesome to see them all like this. Early fall and late spring are also really nice times to be here if you don't care about swimming or water sport.
I don't know about Splinterlands, dang it, I really want to buy Howie just started a new business so I'm not sure we'll be able to get away until spring/summer. I'm not counting it out yet though!
Damn yea Splinterfest is 2 weeks away. I'm totally going to get up there at some point, just gotta figure out when. I can work on the road now so that's not a real hinderance, but it seems like the universe is pulling me in all the directions all at once lol. After Vegas I'm heading to Asia it looks like. I suppose I should get around to make an Argentina post at some point... we'll see.
That sure does look like a beautiful and wonderful spot! What a cool waterfall and lush green plants! Really reminds me of the dream I had earlier... And... Looks like a place for good adventures for sure! :D
The crazy thing is that this place, while gorgeous and perfect for my break time spot, might not even make my top ten of most awesome places to adventure in the area :)
Wow... That's quite a powerful statement, it must be incredible beautiful around there! I'm lucky to live in an extremely beautiful place as well. We don't have that many waterfalls, but some of them are pretty amazing!
