At the edge of the parking lot in the forest

Just inside the forest, at the first parking lot, there seems to be a barrier, certainly an edge, there is here, and there is there, and efforts are made to make sure the line is clearly marked. Every year or so new saplings are removed, and with them, any older trees might be a danger to the cars.

Today the snow was gone from the lower forests.

Today the snow was gone from the forests and a warm green reappeared.

Early morning, just as the snow is starting, I get my first view of Niagara Falls. The third major falls on our trip. The landscape is nearly monochrome due to the snow, and the snow and ice leave a bite on the skin as the droplets and flacks land. Very few people are here, most left very early to avoid the predicted snow storm.
