Morning Piercer by eyeofalens

Morning Piercer
Im in a water mood at the moment & although it’s winter & grey & praying for some snow, I will be longing for some spring greens & water action …Oregon might well beckon again !
Columbia River Gorge has an abundance of waterfalls to keep one going for years on end..cant remeber what this one was called? & only stopped as I was walking pass & saw the sun shining through.
It was a challenge to capture with the spay, would have liked the sunstar a little smaller, but preferred this composition.

Smurf on Ice by terenceleezy

Headed out to FCF with Lance and Rami, half hoping the gate will not be closed. Alas didnt get too lucky there. That gate added 4 unncessary miles to the hike in the not so awesome ice and slush. The consistent rain didnt help the situation at all. We were about 4 day late from prime, may look pretty and all but I got 3 words; cold, wet and miserable. Haha. Got to 2 miles before the trailhead, seeing the icy scene and i realized i had forgotten my spikes.. Left it on the passenger seat in my car. Opps. Stole one side of Rami’s spike during the hike (eternally grateful) and when I got here, precariously slide around those slick ice to get to the edge. And as Tula would say, it’s tree times my height. smile emoticon Cold, wet and miserable but I guess it was still a pretty scene! Happy Tuesday! Flooding yesterday and blackout today from too much rain? Now to find some dinner. 🙂 ‪#‎UCLAcolors‬
