Finding Waterfalls.

[dado potato]

In the Northern Highlands of Wisconsin I have been hiking around waterfalls on Sunday and today... Amnicon Falls and Copper Falls.

Up the trail from the Bad River today, I had the immense pleasure of seeing the first (for me) wood anemones in bloom (Anemone quinquefolia). The wood anemone is so-o-o-o tiny beside a massive ancient white pine! I understand the species has some variation in color. The half-dozen specimens in the group had soft purple blossoms, like the purple-ish specimen in the linked photos.

There are still many waterfalls in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan that I have never gone looking for. They are on my list. I would not call it my "bucket" list, since we are talking about waterfalls of immense power... thunderous sound. My "Roar" List?

I suppose in a geological sense, finding waterfalls is a matter of "finding fault".

I love to hike to waterfalls too. So many pretty ones off trails around here. I love it when I see a Jack in the Pulpit in the wild.https://nature.mdc.mo.gov/discover-n...de/jack-pulpit

Copper Falls is my favorite Wisconsin park. I took my husband there last summer. Sadly they don’t allow dogs so had to take turns hiking. It’s one of the least used parks probably because of location.

Love waterfalls and all the flora and fauna that love the moisture.

I have had a desire to explore at least some of the waterfalls around Hamilton Ontario as part of the Niagara Escarpment and Bruce Trail. This may be the year. I will take Benny, my little beagle and do a couple in one day perhaps. I think that I need a pole walking stick as some of the terrain is quite uneven, I'm told. http://www.waterfalls.hamilton.ca

As it happened today at Copper Falls, I came upon a man on the trails. He had 2 black labs. One of his dogs was in great distress from an encounter with a porcupine. I felt sad for him and his dog with the quills stuck in his nose.

Love the anemones...they are so dainty and pretty in the woods.

Our wood anemones are just starting to bloom too. So pretty!

[Teacher Terry]

That’s sad about the porcupine. But we don’t let ours off leash. Guess he was ignoring the rules.

Guess he was ignoring the rules.

Yes, it sure looks that way. And he had no leash for his dogs that I could see. Sad, indeed!

On vacation doing the Ozaukee birding trail and saw them today here in WI also.
