There is a pair of nesting Redtail hawks (I believe) in a tree close to the edge of the overlook. Weeks earlier I spotted a bald eagle flying low over the falls. Spectacular falls especially after the rain and with the snow meltAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-73641361585464942142011-03-30T22:29:01.333-04:002011-03-30T22:29:01.333-04:00Hi Louise, thanks for stopping by.

But I bet it has protected some tender plants, especially as it remains very cold as well.<br /><br />Greetings, hike/giant. Yes, we are desperate. I hate to add up the cost of gas I've used this week just looking for something green.<br /><br />Dear Ellen, how I miss you! But I sure am enjoying your reports from Michigan, which has some pretty impressive waterfalls of its own.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-53201939453899471172011-03-29T21:33:03.334-04:002011-03-29T21:33:03.334-04:00Cohoes Falls have been on my list of places to see...Cohoes Falls have been on my list of places to see for some time. Never did - so it was nice to see them at last in your photo!<br /><br />Hazelnut flowers (female) remind me of anemones - of the sea variety. I almost expect to see those red "tentacles" swaying gently in the breeze.Ellen Rathbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684750034177425795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-72944454873074334192011-03-29T10:07:59.185-04:002011-03-29T10:07:59.185-04:00I, too, love it when old things are re-purposed, l...I, too, love it when old things are re-purposed, like those factories - gives me hope for an 'old folk' like me. ;-><br /><br />I recognize that sense of desperation - on my post last week (on which you kindly commented) I was so desperate that I took a picture of wild onions! <br /><br />Hope you are snow free soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-66169232902488717552011-03-29T09:36:16.433-04:002011-03-29T09:36:16.433-04:00it's crazy that you still have so much snow.

Something to keep an eye out for perhaps. Here in Boston we are snowfree now except in the very shadiest corners. Still pretty cold, though.<br />More sun to all of us,<br />Åsaasitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15518528142407649319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-56524799010649230722011-03-29T07:58:44.437-04:002011-03-29T07:58:44.437-04:00I think that you're as desperate for green and...I think that you're as desperate for green and flowers as I am.
