Wildcat Falls In Color

Wildcat Falls is a small waterfall by Yosemite standards. This fall would be considered large in most places as it falls 630 feet.
One of my favorite features of this waterfall is the lack of crowd that surrounds many of the other falls in the valley. One can sit below the fall and take in the sounds of the fall and the nature that is all around.

Wildcat Falls In Color This beautiful waterfall is located in Yosemite Valley just a couple of miles from the western entrance on highway 140. This view will never be seen again as a large boulder landed essentially where the left corner of this image is. The falls come into view at the top left corner of the image. The water drops straight down on the right hand side. On the left side of the image the falls fan out to fill the frame. Captured with a slow shutter speed to give the water that nice silky feel. The lush green forest frames the top right of the image.

The Pericnik waterfall in Slovenia cascades down from an overhanging cliff onto a rocky landscape surrounded by lush green forest. It is one of the highest waterfalls in Slovenia.

Advances in Geriatric Medicine and ResearchPhysical Injury and Psychological Impact: Understanding the High Risk of Depression on Older Adults with Recurrent FallsBackground: Falls among older adults significantly increase the risk of physical injuries, loss of independence, and social isolation, contributing to psychological conditions such as depression. Objective: This study explores the association between falls and the risk of developing depression among older adults, comparing psychological outcomes between those with initial and recurrent falls. It also examines demographic factors such as age, sex, and race that may influence depression risk. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed electronic health records from the TriNetX network at Virginia Commonwealth University Health System (VCUHS) during 2023. Older adults aged 65 to 89 were classified into two cohorts: initial falls (n = 2710) and recurrent falls (n = 1050). Statistical analyses, including risk ratios, survival analysis, and proportional hazards models, were used to evaluate associations between falls and depression risk. Results: Recurrent fallers exhibited a higher prevalence of depression (25.7%) compared to initial fallers (16.6%), with a significant association (p < 0.000). Recurrent fallers were 48.8% more likely to develop depression (HR = 1.488). Among younger adults aged 65 to 69, females had a higher prevalence of depression than males (30.5% vs. 20.1%). Anxiety disorders tripled the risk of depression following falls (HR = 3.036). Conclusions: Recurrent falls are significantly associated with an increased likelihood of depression among older adults, highlighting the need for comprehensive interventions. Preventing falls not only reduces the risk of physical injuries but also alleviates associated mental health challenges, including depression and other comorbidities such as postoperative cognitive decline and dementia. Tailored prevention strategies, such as balance training, cognitive therapy, and home safety modifications, can foster better recovery and enhance the quality of life for this vulnerable population.
