This creek was off of the Roaring Fork Motor Trail In the Smokys.
This was taken up in the Bailey Creek area South West of Mount Lassen, in Northern CA, on July 26th of this year…...the water is from Bailey Creek but was running through a large culvert and formed this wonder little waterfall back into Bailey Creek.
Two leaves cast to the wind only to be rescued from the rushing water by a rock. A metaphor for life and way we can be cast to the winds of change and hustle and rush of everyday life. Yet one can find peace in our faith if we seek it. Refuge from the flood, the flow the busy lives we lead. Here’s to quite moments of reflection.( A Finalist for the Betterphoto’s November 05 image of the Month)
Elowah falls tumbles some 200+ feet to the floor of the Columbia River Gorge. Taken on a rainy misty day in January. I never seen that much water coming over the falls.

A rushing creek and a few fallen leaves taking a brief respite from thier rapid trip downriver via breeze and rushing water. The rocks offer a brief sacntuary before they are swept away into the coming winter.

taken early this morning at Cement Creek / in the Yarra Ranges, Victoria
Heavy rains at last – but taking top soil and silt with it as it flows across a small waterfall at Currency Creek, Fleurieu, South Australia. A powerful stretch of water but very brown in colour!! Shot with a Canon 400D, 2 second exposure, 18-55 lens with ND4 filter.
Well, I spotted this out on my Saturday hike from above and scouted for a way down into the capture the scene. What I found was a impenetrable blend of steep banks and thick brush covered in Poison Ivy and Devils Club. Common sense told me to let it go but in the end I slid down using my tripod as a walking stick and managed to get to waters edge with both feet and behind a bit wet. I hope it was worth it for it seemed so at the time to me. Golden leaves on a moss covered boulder in a small stream contrast nicely against rushing water
Filling up a glass of water and noticed this out of the kitchen window. Literally ran outside with a t-shirt and slippers on to get this before it went. First few shots were a golden amber in color then it went to this before it disappeared. Only snapped about 30 bracketed shots before it was gone. Gonna go a repot my orchid while this is uploading (and I finished it, thanks dial-up). Hope you like it. Please critique… print available here and on my website.

The smooth ethereal effect of my camera’s long exposure on a horizontal view of the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River in Sequoia National Park. For the record, I had slipped and fallen into this raging river perhaps 10 minutes previously. After removing soaked clothes and regaining my composure and thanking God I didn’t drown, I set up my camera and tripod and shot this upstream image. Camera: 5D, polarizing lens on a Canon 24-70mm lens, 5 sec, exposure, ISO speed 50, focal length 51.0, White Balance-Shade, and a few adjustments in Photoshop.

Featured with the group Wild Nature Photography and Writing Nov 2009 (Continued from Crystalline Flow) There’s the story that’s told of an old man who died in an accident along with his dear friend, Old Blue, the hound dog. They were inseparable, and it’s no wonder that as the man approached the pearly gates, Old Blue was right there by his side. A handsome fellow in formal attire welcomed the man, throwing open the gates to a city of diamond towers. The old man strode triumphantly thru the gates walking golden streets, his eyes brightly reflecting his surroundings. All seemed right with his world until he felt awareness stir deep within him and he looked down at his side to see that no one was there. Old Blue wasn’t there. He looked ahead and to either side but it wasn’t until he looked behind to the distant gate that he saw Old Blue waiting there. “Come here, sweet heart,” he urged, patting his thigh. “Come on, now, girl.” But Old Blue wouldn’t come. The man retraced his steps intending to force Old Blue to follow, but as he grasped her by the collar, he heard a voice say, “You can’t bring that dog in here.” The old man just stared up in surprise at the striking gate keeper in all his fine attire. He hesitated some moments before turning away from Old Blue and walking away back down the golden street. But his pace slowed as his feet grew heavy. He looked back at Blue, then again toward the diamond city, and each time he repeated this, the city looked less appealing and Old Blue more inviting. I can’t say how long it took him to make up his mind, but soon enough the man left that place and was back out on the path with Old Blue walking by his side. They came to spot where the road forked right thru a gap in a split rail fence, where a dirt path meandered thru a grove of maples ablaze in the colors of fall. He stepped up to the gap and noticed a man in the distance tending a small garden beyond the maple grove. “What is this place?” the old man shouted, but he had to draw closer to hear the gardener speak. He walked thru the gap and down the path and shouted his question once more. “Why this is heaven,” replied the gardener and he went back to his work. The old man stepped closer so as not to have to shout. “If this is heaven, then what was that place back up the road a piece, what with the streets of gold and diamond skyscrapers and such?” The gardener looked up and smiled, “It’s a place where people choose to go when true love doesn’t particularly interest them.” About that time the old man felt awareness stir deep within him. He turned to look back at the gap in the fence and Old Blue wasn’t there. He felt a familiar muzzle nuzzling in his hand and there she was right by his side. Old blue peered thru the maples into the garden until she had the gardener’s attention. He stood up amongst his plants and brushed off his knees and laughed saying, “Why, sure, Blue. You can bring him in with you.” And so it happened that a man and his dog found their way into heaven. / __ I wakened to true love at the foot of a waterfall. I heard it in the thunder of falling spray. I saw it in the light glistening off the cascades. I felt it as mist on my face and in the breeze exhaled by its flow. A voice deep inside me alerted me to its presence and as I continued to answer the call, the awareness grew within me day by day. There is something here loving me without need or agenda nor any expectation of return. I think I’ll walk with it for a spell and see what it has to show me(continued with Crystalline Flow 3. / ___ / ©Miles A Moody LivingEarth-Hearthealing.com.

Featured in Light in the Darkness Group Oct. 2009 – Thank you! Futured in Photography Fun Group Oct. 2009 – Thank you! / / (Continued from Crystalline Flow 2) Looking Glass Falls is a 50 foot sheer drop located roadside just north of Brevard NC and though you’ll probably never have it to yourself, it’s still a beautiful site to spend some time. Hind sight is twenty-twenty, they say and looking back I get a sense that I came to that place in life where I took pause to ask myself, “Who are my real friends, anyway.” It was a wise man who once suggested that I figure out the five friends most important to me, because together their influence shapes my life into what it is to me. It’s interesting that as I stood in the foreground taking this image of Looking Glass Falls, I was able to ‘see’ my reflection in the water – not a visual refection but more like a gut impression of who it was looking back at me. I have to ask myself, do I hold precious those friends of mine who care enough to tell me the truth when I don’t seem to want to see it for myself? It can be challenging to sit at a waterfall’s feet and really feel what she has to say. It’s like looking into the eyes of a fawn; there’s nothing but love looking back at me, and that can be strangely disconcerting to bear….at least this is what I’ve found. I’ve found that receiving true love is feeling completely loved and this can contradict a lot of misconceptions hiding away beneath my awareness. I have to confess my surprise at realizing that I wasn’t very comfortable initially with feeling nurtured and supported. It wasn’t what I was accustomed to. The first few times I touched into the feeling of being loved in this way, I couldn’t stay there. I severed the connection like someone jerking a hand out of flames, afraid to feel. But I kept going back to the waterfalls letting them love me harder than I could resent myself. I’m grateful now for the guidance I found there in nature that insisted upon reflecting another view of me until I could bear to see it. Now as I take a moment to peer into these waterfall images; I sometimes let my imagination break free of the guiding force of my mind; I relax into the ebb and flow of my breathing as I listen to the water falling. I can almost feel the cool air bathed in cleansing mist as I breathe it in; I sink deeper into my seat and my spirit takes root deep into the heart of the earth as branches of light extend into the heavens; I focus my awareness within the center of my chest and let it fill and expand with light from the waters of my breath. And I’m there again experiencing myself new and renewed at the feet of waterfalls (continued with Crystalline Flow 4). / __ / ©Miles A Moody LivingEarth-Hearthealing.com.

I am always searching for interesting waterfalls around my hometown. I stumbled accross this one about 15 minutes from my home. Papermill falls is located just outside the village of Avon NY. My friend and fellow Red Bubbler BIGD set out yesterday on what turned out to be a gloomy rainy day, yet we were able to find get some excellent shots. I appreciate him drivig all that way to go on the shoot. I think I am still drying out.
