In my mind, there is no greater majesty of nature than the waterfall. I grew up in close proximity to Niagara Falls, the patron saint and tourist capital of all waterfalls. But, there are many other cascades that call to me as well. The natural landscape of a waterfall is living water…rushing and gushing, trickling and pooling, shimmering in the sunlight while casting prismatic patterns in the mist.

Exhausted from the day and the week, I thought I would locate and share some of my favorite waterfall images to quench and replenish my parched spirit. These pictures were taken in Niagara Falls and Letchworth State Park in upstate New York. Tonight’s blog is an acrostic poem (WATER) presented in words and images:

Wandering

Ancient

Thunder

Exclaiming

Rebirth
