I forget the name of the small stream along the trailside at Eagle Creek, but here's a 2-shot pano put together with that free program that I've been wanting to try. I kinda like it, but let me know what you think. I've been shooting a lot lately, I'm still trying to catch up on PP'ing them all.
And in case you all didn't know, the Gorge is exploding with flowers right now! I myself will have to slow down a little (I took 160 exposures on Sunday) since I managed to fall in the water at the base of Wahclella and am now nursing a bruised hip (the camera's fine, but a close call). But I still would like to go back this weekend if I have a chance to explore even more.

Wow, Kevin.. this is where you went in low, right? That flow off the near rock is a great focal point. Good job!
I get it now.....if I arrange to immerse myself can I shoot like Kevin and Marc?
BE CAREFUL people....and, I guess, if you're going to free-fall, it's better to do so with water below you.
Seamless pano....

Just noticed the little swirl in the lower right corner. that I really sweet ! Where did you find great displays of wildflowers ? What kind of flowers ?

Ned, yep, this is where the bridge was that I went down into.
Eric, despite what my wife thinks, I always plan the shot so that I don't put myself into harm's way. I had slippery rocks (and pointy unfortunately) below me, so I held onto the log above just in case. But then just like that I was down in the water, all 12 inches of it. On the beach side, but I fell with my camera in hand closest to the water. Not really that dangerous after all. And it's another reason I like shooting waterfalls from the BOTTOM
John, practically everywhere I looked there were white or yellow or little blue wildflowers growing. I hit 5 waterfalls that day, and most of them had great foreground elements that would be there just in the Spring. Sheppard's Dell, Wahclella, Elowah, and Upper McCord Falls all had great flowers showing. Bridal Veil will in about 2 weeks, but I'm iffy if those falls will photograph well even though I've been there many times.
Another spot that was early was the Women's Forum Overlook. The wild roses are starting to bud but not yet. I still got a pretty cool shot of the sunrise, but I missed the predawn or peeking sun shot - I got there a little late.

Darren, I think you're right on the name.
