The "Not" Meander Falls Walk

I thought I'd share some photos of our attempt to visit Meander Falls last Tuesday. We didn't quite get there as I posted here but did eventually get a somewhat distant look at them. We had plenty of snow and rain to keep us occupied though, including a near blizzard at one point.

We found umbrellas useful to deflect some of the snow falling from the overladen shrubbery

Aye, marvellous.
Although a pink umbrella would have added a certain je ne c'est pas to the scene.
