Before and after

It's a chilly, gray afternoon here in the Poconos, and the majority of the leaves have fallen off the trees up here.  So, over a hot cup of coffee, I started looking at some of the pictures I took over the summer, and the ones of Bushkill Falls caught my eye.

Some of you may recall that I've visited the falls a few times this summer.  The first during a fairly dry period, and the last after a substantial rainfall.  So, I thought I would share some before and after shots.  :)

The Main Falls, while impressive before the rains...

...were even more so after the rains. 

This is one of the falls near Bridal Veil... 

...what a difference a little rain makes.

Another of the smaller falls before the rains... a little more than a trickle.

... it widens and becomes quite a bit more after the rains.

 A stream running through moss covered boulders....

...now it pours over the boulders it once flowed around.

What I was calling the reflection pool... 

Wasn't doing much reflecting after the rains.  Also, notice the small water fall under the bridge, see the difference?  :)

The foam you see, and the brownish tint of the water is caused by tannic acids dissolved into the water as it flows over the roots of the trees.

I hope to make a trip up in November, weather permitting, to see how things have changed...  naturally.  ;)
