Bond Falls: The Finale!

This the last of my Bond Falls in the Winter series of photographs.

Oh, I have MORE...

but you have  been patient enough!!

For those of you that haven't suffered through the entire series

and are masochistic enough to want to go back and see the other parts of them...

just keep scolling down, down, down through

my blogposts and if you get to the bottom of the page,

hit "OLDER" and you may get even MORE!

Here is another black and white of

that fabulous frozen foam that was gathered at one part of the river!

It looked like meringue!:

If you study the ice formations, they really are very individual

and quite spectacular:

This was part of what we needed to get PAST

to take some of my pictures.

YIKES!

What medication was I

ON

that day, anyway???:

You can see why I couldn't go any further past this point...

there were only ICE CLIFFS without even any ICE STAIRS to help me!!

I'm NUTS, but I'm not suicidal!!

Some hikers were going to try and cross the river on this snow and ice covered logs.

Thank goodness they changed their minds~!:

Still sighing over the views we saw!:

I would have LOVED to have been able to hike over to the little viewing deck

seen at the top of this photo...

but that would've involved climbing down and back up ice cliffs to do it:

What the U.P. of Michigan must look like to the satellites in the winter

(like frozen Antartica continents!):

Frozen river hat!:

Thank you SO much for going on this journey with me.

I loved being able to share these photos with you all. 

Bond Falls-Part THREE

Today,

I am continuing the Bond Falls in the winter series.

And, let's continue playing Black and White, too..shall we?

I loved this set of falls!:

This was the same set, in original color:

I'm messin' with you...

because HERE is

another

black and white shot:

And it's color twin:

Okay.

OKAY.

I'll stop that for a while.

Loved this shelf full of ice!:

And,

this old craggly tree.

(Is craggly a WORD?)

Oh,

who cares?:

Back to fun and games;

Here it is again in Black and White:

(I just couldn't help myself. The tree ASKED for me to do a black and white!

And, as everyone knows, you LISTEN to craggly trees, or ELSE!)

I loved that ice and snow-coated branch on the opposite bank of the river:

SEE????

See why I loved it?:

Nature at its finest!

Even though it is freezing outside in the winter,

going out in it

and seeing things like THIS

just warms my heart!
