Along the Stevens Pass Greenway on US Hwy 2 in northern Washington. This is a three level falls with a fine short hiking trail near the falls.
One of the many waterfalls in the Cascades.... a cascade.... hence the name. Stevens Pass, along US 2
to be honest, for the first time ever, I have been reasonably pleased by mobile photographs. they are nothing to write home about IMO, but the combination of my Passport camera with Snapseed, is somewhat enjoyable and I may take a fair number more snapshots with this always-with-me combination.
Heavy rainfall on Nov. 17, 2015, caused a significant amount of erosion to a bridge on US 2 just east of Skykomish at milepost 54.
I have photographed this little waterfall many times at different times of the year. I just love it!

Another fun little water feature at the deception falls interpretive center off of Highway 2 near Stevens Pass.
Effigies to past travelers... there were hundreds of these teetering at their apex, a windblast away from oblivion.

Went to a favorite little trail in the Cascades, the Deception Falls "nature trail". Brought the baby this time. He thought the waterfalls and rapids were interesting. The massive amounts of moss were less interesting than touching hemlocks.
Amazingly, he slept most of the way there and home. I hadn't planned to go all the way to Deception Falls, but he was asleep on the drive, so why stop? I wasn't sure if Deception Falls would still be under snow, but it was lovely.

A new tree spouted on this harvested cedar tree. A giant tree has recently fallen next to it and in years to come will also become a nurse log providing nutrients for young seedlings.
Steam. Stopped by a tourism spot called Deception Falls. The Falls where just ahead of this.

I spent several hours at the Deception Falls Nature Area near Stevens Pass, Washington where I photographed my favorite little pool, that I call the Grotto, which is on an offshoot of Deception Creek below the big waterfall. I was there for the sunrise and left after lunch when the light became dappled and hard to get a good exposure. This image was at sunrise as the light began to stream through the forest. It is a composite of 7 vertical shots stitched together in Lightroom with some further editing in Photoshop.
Doesn't it look peaceful? In reality There was a stack of cars quickly approaching and just timed it right so the cars coming the other way were out of view. Highway 2 on a day like this can be Packed!! Leave early to visit.
Hoped you enjoyed.
Not far below the falls Deception Creek divides and a small branch travels through the forest. In this image the "small" branch, heading off to the right, has jumped it's banks leaving trees surrounded by the rushing water.
I often look at other photographers' images to get ideas of places to go. The other day. Such was the inspiration to visit Deception Falls off Highway 2. This photo was actually taken on the .5-mile loop around the falls area.
A new tree spouted on this harvested tree sending it's roots down the side to find the ground. The spring board notch used when the tree was cut is still visible.
I love living in the NW and having access to all these lovely waterfalls. I have always been curious about this waterfall because I have driven passed it many times to and from the western Washington. It's worth seeing as it is just a short distance from the parking lot.
"The Cradle"
"The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness."
- Vladimir Nabokov
"...and the river bank sings of the waters of March, it the promise of life it's the joy in your heart" Antonio Carlo Jobim
He may have got the month wrong but the waterways in the Northwest are definitely "singing" as they overflow with the spring snow melt and and recent rains.
I spent several enjoyable hours exploring and photographing at Deception Creek Fall Recreation Area on US Route 2 near Stevens Pass.
Deception Creek crashes over a second smaller drop and this time of year it has a huge volume, speed and force. While I was there five kayakers put out just above here to survey the rapids and, smartly I believe, decided to carry their boats around this and the third drop and put in on the Tye River to continue the journey.
