A few weeks back I needed to get out … out of the house, away from my computer, and just get some beautiful, fresh air. Thankfully I now live in near of the most beautiful parts of the country: The Columbia River Gorge.So, I jumped in my car, drove out to the start of a trail and went for a nice long hike to a waterfall I’d had my eye on for some time. I made it up to the falls, but since it’s still winter then there just wasn’t enough foliage for my liking. I got an okay photo (here’s one of the waterfall: http://nicolesy.me/1387sfC) but only took a few frames and went back down to get some detail shots of the stream (as seen in this photo).
Overall, I cannot WAIT until Spring officially arrives. My first trip out to the CRG was in the peak season, and now that I live 30 minutes from this stuff that means I will have such an easy time making my out as much as I can possibly fit into my schedule. :) So watch out, in a month or so you’ll be seeing lots of green moss, macro shots of dewy flowers and long-exposures of waterfalls and streams. This photo looks green, but it gets ridiculous when the weather changes. Yippee!

Very Nice +Nicole S. Young I expect you'll be making a lot of trips in April/ May. The Spring flowers are already popping up at Rowena Crest on the east end of the Gorge. Make sure you visit the Historic Hwy past the town of Mosier in April for Balsam Root and Lupine.
Very very nice:O

Hello Nicole, you doral aspeak spanish. No hablo inglés y me gustaría hablar sobre la cultura cannabis norteamericana. Un saludo y espero que entiendas el español
Pretty. I wonder if the shutter speed had been a little faster we might have seen slightly more definition and tone in the water.
What was your shutter speed for this, may I inquire? I agree with Jim Thurman's retrospection and am slightly curious. But yet this is quite a magnificent capture.
Nicole S. Young very nice and good
