I had a wonderful time out shooting this week. Here's one from richland. I saw some forest service men estimating the damages on falling water road, so it looks like they will be repairing the road shortly. Richland has even more trees down, some slides along the creek and much of the beautiful moss on the huge boulders wiped clean. Nature is always changing. I have always thought the key to nature photograhy was timing. The thing is the more I shoot the more I realize the magical moments do happen more often you just have to be outside more to experience them. I hope you enjoy. Comments appreciated.

Very nice Gale, looks like the rapid "lower screw-up" to me. I really like the way the water flows through you shot and the angle you shot this from. Which way did you go in with Falling Water Road closed?

Good to see some photographs of Richland Creek, Gale. I'd like to get up there while there's still some water, and before hot weather arrives.

This is a beautiful shot with the whitewater wrapped around the gravel bar - very uncommon feature. If there were anything to suggest, I might like to have seen a little more at the bottom.

Nice shot Gale. I like the way the water flows in the upper left and also the quiet pool of water at the top of the shot. Great color rendition.

Gale, your exposure time renders the water with the perfect amount of detail. Good job processing too; the colors and sharpness are great.

Beautiful, Gale!

Very nice Gale. Good eye in noticing this unique feature, I like it. Well done.

You can see clots of leaves trapped in the top branches of the little tree in the top middle, which means that the water was at least up that high, and that may explain why that tree has none of its own leaves. Whew, what a monster that must have been when the water was that high!

Beautiful spot, beautiful photograph.
