waterfalls...

I love waterfalls...the sound of roaring water heard way before you see it...the beauty of the falling water...and if you get close enough the mist hitting your face!
This past weekend, Jeff & I celebrated our 35th anniversary by cycling the northwoods of MN. We also made a short trip across the border into Wisconsin to Pattison State Park to view Big Manitou Falls (165 high), and Little Manitou Falls (31 feet high).
We hiked the trails around the big falls and admired the view from all the lookouts...
and then hiked to the little falls where you can admire the view from the top trail or go right down to the water.


Even though the calendar said July 30th - we saw the first of the autumn leaves.
While the thundering waterfalls may have been in WI, our state has some pretty scenic lakes.
Wouldn't it be cool to stay in that cabin on the island?
Have a wonderful week ahead and hopefully a cooler less humid one! It has been miserable here but today is less humid so I will be spending it weeding.

Ohh, Marsha! What beautiful captures of your travels. Awesome! Serene! Beautiful!

Yes, touches of autumn here, also. Dogwoods are starting to show the changes ... probably because of the drought also.

Have a great week ~

Happy Anniversary! Looks like you had a fabulous weekend! The waterfalls are so impressive; looks like a great park. Oh, yes, it would be dreamy to stay in the cabin! Oh no, first signs of autumn? Say it isn't so--we are just now beginning summer here this year.
