The beautiful Tamanawas Falls in her winter dress...
Upper Butte Creek Falls
Spring time in Oregon is such an amazing time, why anyone would ever want summer to come is beyond me 🤷
Falls Creek Falls
Two hours of driving thru mostly icy and snowy conditions... 4 miles of hiking thru fresh snow in subfreezing temperatures (one way)... Was it worth it?

Ramona Falls
Ramona Falls lies within the Mt. Hood National Forest just west of Mt. Hood. A short hike brings you to an amazing spectacle of glacier melt cascading down a wall of columnar basalt, remnants of an ancient lava flow.

Salmon Huckleberry Wilderness
Took a hike into the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness in early Spring 2015 and hiked along the Salmon River. The goal was to find Frustration Falls, which was....frustrating. Didn't come back with with any good pictures of that particular waterfall but did find some gorgeous creeks along the way. This is a great hike filled with towering old growth, piles of brilliant green moss, and signs of Spring popping up everywhere.

It's Not A Dream
This is Ferry Falls along the Wahkeena Trail in the Columbia Gorge. I was practically standing in the waterfall for this one. Me and my gear got pretty wet, so I found it amazing that I didn't get any droplets on my lens.

Textures of Abiqua
This is a traditional composition of Abiqua Falls. You really can't take a bad picture of this waterfall from any angle. This particular side of the falls seems to be where all of the mist heads off to. Which is great because all of the rocks are covered with thick, green moss... But keeping droplets off of your lens can be tricky. My camera was pretty much soaked while setting up this shot. My little microfiber towel was working overtime...

Ramona Falls
This spectacular 120' waterfall in the Mt. Hood National Forest fans out down a cliff of basalt. And if you visit at the right time you'll get a beautiful light show as the sun's rays illuminate the cascading water.
Crescent Beach
Waterfall Creek spilling onto Crescent Beach at Ecola State Park. The trail down to this isolated beach is steep and a bit muddy but well worth the effort...

Lower Lewis Falls
A perfect morning spent at Lower Lewis River Falls. I found this great stick. And there was this waterfall too...but whatever...

Abiqua Falls
Millions of years ago the Earth opened up releasing basalt lava flows that took over the landscape. Over the subsequent millions of years the elements fought back, slowly eroding back the rock, creating dramatic canyons, gorges, and cliffs. Some with majestic waterfalls spilling over them. And all of this happened for one single reason and one reason alone.... To provide content for attention hungry photographers.

Missing Metlako
I don't know if there was location that captured the magic more of the Columbia Gorge than this view point. Sadly during the winter of 2016 this viewing area slid into the canyon below. Nothing is forever...
