While Christine was home over the Christmas Holidays we couldn't resist some winter photography after a beautiful snowfall. If you haven't been to Ritchie Falls, it is about 10 minutes out of Haliburton off County Road 1 (Gelert Rd.). At the Community of Lochlin, follow Ritchie Falls Road to the end. It was a challenge through the deep snow - not your typical time to see the Falls, but well worth it. It was a freezing cold day, but once we started slogging through the deep snow, we soon forgot how cold it was. Hanging from the bridge was a swing rope that had an amazing ice bell swaying from the bottom. The spray off the rapids had created a perfect "bell" that swung freely - it was quite amazing how it formed. The area was magical - a little tricky at the water's edge as you cannot see the rock ledges and were they end, so we were extra careful. When the snow melts there is lots of great rocks that offer picnic areas or places to peacefully sit and watch the beautiful water rushing by.
