These pictures were taken at Lassiter Mill Dam (click here for history of Lassiter Mill)
if you enlarge the picture you'll notice a Blue Heron on the left side of this
picture on the bank. What a wonderful surprise it was to see him.
I had my video set hoping he'd fly off. All he did was move his head from side to side.
Below is a still picture of Lassiter Mill Dam.Before the fine new houses were built, here historic Lassiter Grist Mill
was located in this area. It was a working mill for corn and flour.
Below is a video of the Lassiter Mill Dam it feeds into Crabtree Creek.The Dam still sounds very powerful and as far as I know this is the only 'waterfall' in Raleigh.
Yes this area is in a flood zone...which is why all the houses are built on stilts.

I think you should have a drawing and the winner gets the house in the picture! :)
