| Haddam Falls, corner of Rt. 82 & Rt. 154 |
I'm on a mission to visit waterfalls! Passing by this one in Haddam last month inspired me to go back and visit it again. I took photos, drank in the surroundings, and discovered a fascination with the step-stone like layers of ledge worn away by time and water.

| There is something both serene and exciting about the sound of rushing water. |
 |
| The surrounding woods provide shade and atmosphere. |
Last week, we took a ride to Latimer's Brook Falls in East Lyme. My husband used to fish here when he was a teen. The last time we visited was probably 30 years ago. It's not a peaceful spot. It's wedged between I-95S and Rt. 1, so the roar of traffic can't be ignored. But, it is beautiful.

| From the photos, you'd never know I-95 is above us, just beyond the trees. |
Yesterday, we broke from our usual lazy Sunday morning routine. We were out of the house by 7:30 and on our way to Indian Leap Falls in Norwich. This was our first visit, but it won't be our last! The overlook walkway is handicap accessible, and a small park is the perfect spot for a picnic with a view of the falls.
