canalside in Turners Falls
This morning butterflies were calling to me, pulling me to the western part of the state. I spent time in the butterfly conservatory, then decided to stop to explore the Canalside Rail Trail in Turners Falls on my way home.
I walked on both sides of the Turners Falls Dam, passing old buildings along the canal on the downstream side of the dam, and walking along the smooth water upstream. Warning signs about water levels rising quickly made me think as I walked along the water below the dam.
