Well, hello to all my contacts and flickr friends. I have been pretty low key lately. Mainly because of the time of year and also due to having the nasty flu over the last couple of weeks. I have been checking in and viewing all your wonderful work though. Just haven't had the time to write thoughtful comments. I hope your holiday season is joyfull and happy.

 

It's been intirely too long since I have excersised the shutter finger. Recently, I have been inspired to get out by some of my contacts that went to Opal Creek wilderness. I have been wanting to visit this beautiful area for a long time. The last time I ventured up here, it was impossible due to the amount of snow. Today, I ventured up here after fighting the flu and really struggled, but kept going. The weather was really ugly with rain/snow non stop. I got thoroughly soaked, but it really did feel good to get out with the camera. This is the waterfall behind the old saw mill. It's a two mile hike in to this spot on a very nice trail through old growth forrest. My gear is all over the floor drying out, as I was soaked to the bone by the time I got back to my vehicle. I hope you all had a terrific Christmas and I wish for you the best during the coming new year :)

 

Thanks for looking :)
