Field Notes

Description:

Found these two along the Niagara Gorge trail - literally right on the rocks next to the rapids (as in the pictures) - on my way back from hiking in Devils Hole and the Whirlpool State Parks. My camera memory card was full so I was sitting silently - deleting pictures - so I could capture these pictures. They're so beautiful.
