There's also another nice waterfall on the property, so we headed there. Along the way, Noel pointed out something very unusual. This small hemlock tree has what's called Witch's Broom. Patrick gave us a really good explanation of what it is - better than what I will try to repeat here. Here's the Wiki def - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch's_broom

Most of them tend to be at the top of trees, this one is at the base. I should have also shot it from a lower angle because this doesn't show that the growth is in more of a flat plane horizontal to the ground.
