Happy HF21 to all and here is to hoping we can all find our way under the new system! :)
Here is a little hike I took a couple years ago along Whychus Creek near where I live. My destination was a little unnamed waterfall about 1.5 miles from the trail head. At least if they have a name I was unable to find it. :)
The first couple shots are of the creek as it winds through the lava cliffs and pine forest. I love the contrast of colors.
Here you get a glimpse of the snow capped North Sister where some of the water in the creek drains from.
So very relaxing and peaceful here. When I'm out hiking I always like to try to imagine myself aligning my vibrations with that of the nature around me. It helps me find my center.
A couple shots of the upper part of the falls partially blocked by a log jam.
Here are two shots of the lower part of the falls. There weren't really any clear shots of the falls from this side of the creek. I guess I could have tried to cross the creek on that one thin log, but I doubt the reward would have been worth the risk to my life. lol
And finally an old exposed root ball from a tree that fell over. I love the tangled randomness of the roots.

Thanks for looking and enjoy your day!
Happy hardfork to you, too. ;)
Nice pictures, again.

It looks like an ideal place for a walk. The water looks so clean and it's like it was calling - put your feet in here, it's refreshing :)
Great photos! They are bright, colorful and set in beautiful landscape :)
Thank you for sharing and happy walking!

Hello @oldmans .
Great post and the photos are wonderful.
The colors come alive when they enlarge and with a spectacular black background.
I really like them all, but my favorite is that of the roots.
of the old root ball.
Enlarge and zoom to 250%, capture details and extraordinary figures.
Thanks for a good job.
Thanks Curie for an amazing post.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. :) I've been thinking of manipulating the root ball photo like I did to some of my photos shown in this old post. Make it a little more of a piece of digital art. :) Thank you for stopping by!

Thank you @trucklifefamily! I'm looking at doing something a little more artsy with the root ball photo. I think there is more for me to create in that photo. :)
