Messy But Green

This was a hard one to shoot because it is pretty messy with all the branches sticking down. There was lots of moss and I think it is still kind of a cool waterfall for the fact that it doesn't come from a creek. At the top it just starts by coming out of the ground. This was another one from the North Umpqua Trail (I think that is the name) by the Umpqua hot springs.

As I was shooting this my husband and two other friends were mountain biking on the trail. Well, out of the corner of my eye I saw a mountain bike and then I didn't pay much attention(thinking it was someone else). I looked back over and there is a section of trail where the water is running down it, and one of our friends had just wrecked. I didn't hear anything but the rushing of water and when I saw he fell about 7 feet down I decided I better go see if he was ok. His tire had hit a rock and it flew him over the handlebars and down onto some rocks. He was ok, and walked away with no serious injuries, but it could have been a lot worse. So, always be careful out there, you never know what can happen.

 

Happy Waterfall Wednesday!
