Little Qualicum Falls

By far spring is my favorite time of the year.

I LOVE to see the spring runoff & everything else to do with spring.

Fall at it best, love these little intimate things I notice. And there was a day that I didn't

Geothermal runoff from the Castle Geyser in the Old Faithful Geyser Basin flows into an area of trees which eventually must giveway.

This photo was taken while travelling along the Icefields Parkway in southern Alberta, Canada (highway 93) from Banff National park and heading northwest. Here we're passing the Waterfowl Lakes and on to the Saskatchewan River Crossing.

Last night, I took this photo of the sun setting on Sandcut Beach - a beautiful beach on the southern west coast of Vancouver Island, which is popular for a waterfall that falls on the beach. In the summer, the waterfall is just a trickle, but in the spring, with spring runoff, it is spectacular.

Runoff from the spring melt spills over the edge of one of the many marshlands in this area.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sure looks better today compared with one year ago.

The subtle colours of spring on the prairies found in the currents of an overflowing creek.

Went for a walk with good friends today and checked out the spring runoff at Keefer Falls. It was early afternoon and finally warm enough for just a light shirt. However that also meant hard light with lots of shadows so a B&W conversion seemed to work best for this scene.

Water streams through some colorful foliage.

Here is a painted effect on this image.

The spring rains have made this area near the lake by my house a lot more photo worthy than I'm used to seeing. As summer approaches, this area is almost completely blocked by leaves. But with all the rain and cloud cover, I was able to get a decent exposure of a place I need to explore a whole lot more.

Swan Valley, ID

i got outside briefly to prowl around in the beach a bit, a very watery place in this stormy weather

This water fall was right alone Hwy 14.... I've never seen this color here before ... then I realized it was runoff from our recent snow and Ice storms.

I didn't take one photo while at the top of Mt. Rainier. All the good shots are on the way to and from Paradise.

I have to be in work tomorrow at 6am, which means I'm going to bed... right now. I'm sorry for not commenting on all your photos, but I need every minute of the 5 hours of sleep I might get.

The red pools of water here in Desert Shores, California are caused by red algae and bacteria that thrive in the area's salty, alkaline waters. The high salinity supports microorganisms like Dunaliella salina (a red algae) and Halobacterium (a bacteria), which produce pigments that give the water a reddish hue. These organisms are well-suited to the harsh conditions of the ponds, where evaporation and agricultural runoff concentrate the salts and nutrients, creating an ideal environment for their growth.

I shot these earlier today I my way back home from doing real estate photo shoots in nearby Borrego Springs.

Years ago there were plans to install pumps to circulate the water here, but the project was never implemented. :(
