Nish Rish not scared of the bear at Bushkill Falls entrance
Making friends with the bear
View of the main falls from the lookout area at the top of the falls. At this time we were still not sure if Rishma's grandma and Rishma would be able to walk down to the bottom of the falls on the narrow winding wooden stairs along the Red trail though it was the easiest trail of the three that we chose Sep 15 5 PM. .

Kudos to kids and their grandparents who managed to brave the risks of descending down the trail along the wooden railings, easy for youngsters but precarious at some spots for kids and seniors.
Final flight of stairs just before getting to the based of the falls Sep 15 5:15 PM

Finally at 5:20 PM we managed to get to the base of the main falls at Bushkill falls and managed to freeze motion the falls at 1.6 secs exposure manual
Finally at the based of the falls. As usual, always hard to get Rishma's straight face at the camera 5:30 PM

Dynamic duo cant stay still for more than a micro second. As dynamic as the water falls at the top of the falls right next to the point from where it cascades down behind Rishma and Nishka Sep 15 2012 5:45 PM
River waters appear nearly static at the top at the same time mysteriously offering ferocity and momentum to the falls below.

Nish Rish cozy with grandma just past the bridge on a day when it was suddenly cooler compared to the warm summer days of last few months as grandpa debates on whether following the Exit marking or the red trail which could lead to the exit as well.
Several such micro falls add help gather momentum to the water before it reaches the mail waterfalls.
From 100 meters away I took this snap of everybody atop the rapid waters 6 PM Sep 15 2012

As we walked along the yellow trail towards the exit, we could catch more picturesque views of river water streaming through the woods
With Nish and Rish Sep 15 2012 6 PM
As kids played in the Play Area supervised by their grandpa towards the closing time of the park, I captured this duck in the nick of time in the tranquility of a small lake at the entrance of Bushkill falls Sep 15 2012 6:30 PM.
