We couldn’t really find the trail parking spot indicated on the… Read More

One of my favorite landscapes to photographs a re frozen waterfalls. However, the weather is not always right to create a nice scene. Sometimes it just isn’t cold enough long enough to start to freeze the water. And sometimes there is no snow.
