power

That's a lot of water going over the edge. This is Niagara Falls, from the American side. In the early nineteenth century, the power of all of that water filled onlookers with overwhelming feelings of awe and dread. Some enterprising souls just hooked up electrical generators. Until the United States acquired the West, which added the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Slope to its geographical area, Niagara Falls was the best natural wonder the country had to offer. If you only had one, this wasn't a bad one to have.

I had a great blog post planned for today. I knew I'd be spending last night and this morning at Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park, and took my camera to record my intended early morning knitting session complete with a sighting of the geyser spectacle. Well, I knitted (on the summer sock, no less) and watched Old Faithful, but something's wrong with my camera. So you'll have to take my word that it was a gorgeous morning and a productive knitting time. I'll make another trip in September, so keep your toes crossed for good pictures.
