These Roots Must Run Deep....Hold On Tight!

The River falls in Almonte, right behind Fitzgeralds, the former Victoria Woolen Mill, and a unique 5 sided building!

The river is quite high right now, lots of snow melt and some rain have added to make it impressive to see, dizzying to be near, and fascinating to watch.
In summer, these falls can be almost dry, and as you can see, a small bush has put down roots, and survived long enough to get a bit of size already.
I find it amazing that under the onslaught of the power of this kind of water, something so small, can hold on to it's place and not be torn free.
