The Ice Falls

Not too far from where we live is a waterfall.



By this time of year, the water has frozen in mid-suspension.



Dusty has carefully walked across the ice to pose in this amazing formation of nature.



I'm sure this waterfall is beautiful all year, but there is something pristine about the frozen cascade.



Near the waterfall, colonies of moss and lichens sprawl across giant granite boulders.



The aspen trees sleep peacefully, awaiting the warmth of spring.



Milky quartz rocks are abundant in this area.



Blue Spruce and other breeds dot the landscape as the most prominent vegetation, making our mountain community green all year round.
