Charleston Falls, January 5, 2012
We had had snow a few days earlier but it was 48 (F) when I walked and the snow was melting quickly.
Charleston Falls, January 16, 2012
January 16 was a pleasant day for walking. Jeanne, her dogs and I stopped to admire the falls. The morning temperature was 30 (F). Two days earlier we had decided we didn't want to walk on a 10 degree day.
By January 16, the water pouring over the falls was digging holes in the snow and ice at the base.
When Cinda and I walked on the afternoon of January 27, we could hear the roar of the falls long before we reached it. A torrent of water was pouring over the rocky ledge. We had had sleet and snow on January 20 and then a heavy rain much of January 26. Both the melting snow and that rain contributed to the falls that day. The day was breezy but 40 degrees felt pleasant.

Back I went on January 30 to see a falls that was back to the way it looks much of the year. Lots of people were taking advantage of the balmy day. Who can resist taking a walk on a January day when the sun is shining and the temperature is crowding 60 (F)?

Those are beautiful photos. It certainly has been an unusual winter - so confusing for nature. I even have flowering buds on my trees ready to open.
