Not quite as dramatic as the upper falls. It’s hard to call them “falls” at all. There is a certain tranquility to them.

Rock Creek Zen
It may be the fall everywhere else, but here in the South it still feels like summer.
Oysters
Such a quintessentially northwest scene: the intrepid few scouring a rocky beach on Hood Canal on an overcast day in the summer looking for shellfish. A little slice of heaven.
The Rush II
I was surprised when I found that I had already named a file in this directory “The Rush.” I guess there was something about the water around here that really said “rushing” to me.
Emerald Water
After a good rain even a shallow pool can look a little murky.
Tunnel
It’s awe inspiring to ponder the forces that worked to deposit these rocks on the top of a mountain.
Boulders
Despite a failure properly plan the outing leading to a hike that was 3 times as long as anticipated, the trip to the Channels of Virginia near Abingdon were well worth the extra effort. I’ll definitely be coming back.
Spring Falls
I sure am looking forward to getting back into spring when all the grey turns to green again.
Appalachian Horizons
The views from the Roan highlands are really something else.
Appalachian Rocks
You don’t have to pass through these rocks on the Appalachian trail in the Grayson Highlands, but its a lot more fun if you do.
The Rush
I love the way water crashes through rocks.
Smooth Water
When the water is too high the trail (pictured!) is impassible and it is necessary to take the high water trail. The trail is not impassible in this shot.
Laurel Falls
In order to get to Laurel Falls from Hampton, TN you need to inch along a narrow ledge above the river or, especially when the water’s high, take the high water route up and over. Definitely worth it.
Rocky Outcrop
The view from the balds of the Roan Highlands is out of control.
Kubota Waterfall
So peaceful. Another shot of Seattle’s Kubota Garden.
