Kaaterskill Falls

Yesterday, Beth, Cathryn, CHelsea and myself went for a hike to Kaaterskill Falls.

THe Falls in warmer weather


This is such a great place. Even at this time of the year (or especially?) when the falls and the river are frozen, and you can see tributorys also froze, it just radiates what I can only call "Earth Power". It was a good hike. I was really glad to go there. We hunted for a rock that had been photographed before and eventually we found it. Kathryn had a bit of a struggle in this weather, but there was no deadline, and she's seeing the Chriropractor today anyway.

Later, we went to Kingston and to a WAL-MART and then to something called SAM'S CLUB for food. Heard about WAL-MART via Mike Moore and South Park. It looks like K-MART times five. Finally we watched the 4th Harry Potter film. It was OK, but having not read the book, it lacked something for me.

It really is. We do rituals up at the top of the falls every autumn, usually close to the peak of the leaves....

Winter

Even in Winter, it has a magic that seems independent of human presence.

Oh, that's a pretty, lovely place.

Isn't shopping in the US an experience?

It might be...

Awesome photo!

Haha WAL-MART - I remember it well.
Have you been to a Denny's to eat? I remember it being really nice, and their Diner's have great food - So much food though!

Nah

I miss that place.

Missing the Place

I know dear. You are remembered here.

But you are where you need to be right now, in order to heal.

Thank you.

It has been a rough ride the last year.
