This falls decreases to a trickle during the summer, but we've had plenty of rain, so plenty of water.
A Handheld shot taken at 1/5 sec. on high burst mode with the good shots combined in Photoshop for a 1.2 second exposure to give the silky waterfall.
Seemed like the air was calm, but there are some plants that caught a breeze. There is always something.
Note: stacking images can also be used to reduce noise, so image looks especially clean and focused.
The sun came out!
The trail descends stairs between cliffs from the Cyrus Gates Overlook (accessed by Cleator Road) to the South Lost Lake Trail in the Chuckanuts south of Bellingham.
Gave the sunlight a boost with the Orten Effect

False Solomon's Seal
Photographers and botanists are known for making slow progress on hikes especially when there is a subject to examine.
Ok.
My first guess at identification was False. It was not Solomon's Seal. Nor was it Rosy Solomon's Seal or Imitation Solomon's Seal. It was not Twisted Stalk, Rosy Twisted Stalk, False Twisted Stalk or False Imitation Rosy Twisted Stalk.
Ay Caurmba!

For today's hike we went up the Eagle RockTrail (PCT) near Warner Springs. We didn't make it to Eagle Rock but we searched our area at lunch for the heart shaped rock.We never found it but had a great day spent mostly in the woods along Canada Verde Creek.It was a beautiful day in the mid 70's and breezy now and then wth a dry east wind.
One last IR shot, from the Rock Trail to Lost Lake in Larrabee State Park. The lake lived up to its name, as we never got there. We could see it, but it always remained about a quarter mile ahead of where we were - and we were losing visible light so... we retreated.
Western Washington, be it in Olympic, the North Cascades, or Mount Rainier is covered in forests of spruce and cedar. With so much moss and ferns - it feels eerily similar no matter where you end up. So what better way to show off the greenery - than with a black and white IR shot.
'Natch!
For the off-road thrill-seeker.
