Cascading Waters can be found at 135 Olean Street on the eastern edge of Worcester's northwest parklands, the Cascades. The Cascades are 350 acres of park and conservation lands along the borders of Worcester, Paxton, and Holden, Massachusetts. Home to countless species of plants and animals, the Cascades are open to passive recreation year-round.

Overall a nice day!

Well, dusk is drawing on at the foot of the Cascades.
The sun sets a little earlier due to the height of the rock strewn slope to the west , with hills beyond that to the west.

A hiker has been through today based on the tracks.

It wasn't too cold, not too windy, and didn't precipitate.
Pretty excellent for such a wild February.

The clear skies and lots of light confirmed the loud noise we heard two nights back with all of the wind.
There was a large diameter very long trunk and canopy (looks to be an ash from a distance) lying on the forest floor.
Follow it with your eyes and it point to a tree trunk that shattered about 5' up.
"Blasted" is the word that comes to mind as you look at it.

Right now it is 4:42pm
The temperature is 39 degrees F and falling
The humidity is 53%, and
The mercury is 29.83" and steady, promising more of the same!
