Autumn Waterfalls: (Last) Part

This is my last set of waterfall pictures from the day we went out for some hikes to three different waterfalls in our area this autumn.

This was one of the trails of the hike to get to one of the waterfalls:

But it led to another set of little waterfalls worth seeing!:


The water was high even in this little waterfall due to the days and days of rain we had been having:



I liked the slate on the walls beside the waterfall, too:




Water came in from two sides of the river, where they merged into this waterfall:






There was still a lot of colored leaves on the trees upstream from the waterfalls:




At the crest of the falls:





Slippery rock ledges bordered the falls:








Another shot of the rushing water:






When we first hiked in, it was raining and cloudy.
By the time we got close to the falls, bright sunshine broke out, lighting up the water.
I loved how it made shadows of the trees in the forest as we approached the falls!:








At last!
A sunny day at the end of our hike to light up the river and the autumn colors:





A look at the falls through the pines:






And the last of our autumn glory
on the river:

It was on the next day that we got a HARD frost which turned all these glorious leaves to a dull brown.
We then got wind and they dried up and all blew down in the next 24 hours!!
And, as you know from a few posts back:
After that, we got snow.
Thank goodness the snow has melted (for NOW) and we just have bare trees and brown now.
But I love looking at these pictures to remind me how beautiful
the last month was.
