from my garden...
they are long gone now, but I wanted to get them in my Flickr album....
Thanks for the visit and enjoy the day and weekend!!
This plant is from a clipping I took from my childhood house when we moved out to Long Island... 30 years ago! It is huge and full of flowers...
I know my mother is looking down and admiring it as much as me....
Bridal Veil Falls is a 365-foot waterfall at the end of the box canyon overlooking Telluride, Colorado. Hiking and off-road trails pass by the falls and it has a hydroelectric power plant at its top. In winter the frozen shape of the falls forms an imposing challenge to intrepid ice climbers.
Bridal Veil Falls is a 607-foot-tall (185 m) double cataract waterfall in the south end of Provo Canyon, close to US189 in Utah.
A Blushing Bride...One of the most exciting days of my life as many of you would suspect. I spent the entire day in the park taking photos...It was just wonderful.
While waiting for the sun to go down and the tourists like myself to leave, we made our way to Bridal Veil Falls to see what it looked like. Well much to our surprise it was actually quite beautiful!!! It was a backlit shot but I managed to get a bit of a sunstar to add to the frame. Kris.
What's that? You haven't seen a waterfall picture in a while? Never fear, Rich Border is here. On a recent trip to our beloved southern neighbor I made a quick dash down to Bridal Veil Falls. Me and another fifty people.... Situated on the amazing Columbia River gorge this two tiered beauty drops 118 feet down a shaft its gouged out for itself through a basalt wall. Blow it up and take it in, she's a wonderful sight.
This is in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon side, and most of the way down to Bridal Veil Falls. With the vastness and awesomeness of the area and many waterfalls, it is easy to go into sensual overload and miss the best photographs. I'm sure I did a ton of that but just had to shoot that nice little bridge through the trees if nothing else. Don't ask me exactly where I focused but I see it was at f16 thankfully and probably about 1/3 of the way in to the scene. The Hoya HD3 polarizer was on there for sure. A bit of saturation was added in PS using the Saturation blending mode which does not change the luminosity like usual.
Thank you for your warm and kind visits my friends - you are very much appreciated! :)

Bridal Veil Falls
Columbia River Gorge
Oregon
July 2025
Bridal Veil Falls, located in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon, is a picturesque two-tiered waterfall that cascades a total of about 120 feet through a lush, forested canyon. The falls resemble a bride’s flowing veil—hence the name.
Yosemite National Park. Merced river in the fore ground. Gloomy day with clouds rolling in. Snow started later in the day and continued until they were forced to shut down the Park for weeks!
This was the bridal carriage for my friend's wedding. We accidently bumped into her whilst trying to find a parking spot close to the wedding. Luckily I was not the groom.
Bridal Veil Falls is a 365 foot (111 m) waterfall at the end of the box canyon overlooking Telluride, Colorado. Hiking and off-road trails pass by the falls and the power plant at its top. In winter the frozen shape of the falls forms an imposing challenge to intrepid ice climbers.
Bridal Veil Falls is a two pronged waterfall.[1] The trail past the falls continues on to mountain meadows and mountain lakes above 10,000 feet (3,000 m).
The house/power plant atop the falls was restored, operated and lived in (1991–2010) by Eric Jacobson. The power generated now provides about 25 percent of Telluride's demand for electricity.
Seems to be a fairly popular name for waterfalls, as I've seen it before, on other locations.
This particular waterfall is in Spearfish Canyon, South Dakota. Near drought conditions kept the flow to a trickle.
Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada. This is a good time to photograph waterfalls in Ontario as the water levels are higher than usual.
The tallest waterfall in Colorado, Bridal Veil falls over 300 ft., and is accompanied by one of the earliest hydroelectric power plants in Colorado, which powered a mining operation. The powerplant is still in operation.

Returning to Yosemite and back & white, on the trail to Lower Bridal Veil Falls-
The original inhabitants in Yosemite were the Miwoks. . There are a variety of very intriguing native American legends surrounding the Falls that you can google if interested. Here is one:
“Many moons ago, an Indian named Norita and a brave from a rival tribe, named Grey Eagle met and fell in love. They planned to meet near a streamlet high on the mountainside and elope to a land far away from both their tribes. On that fateful night, instead of her lover, Norita was confronted by braves from her own tribe. Fearing her lover had been destroyed she leaped from the high ledges.
Mother Nature was touched by her wild beauty, and she caught up Norita's streaming tresses and made from them a Bridal Veil of falling water. From her flowing gown an alter was formed on the face of the mountain. Then her spirit was sent out as a mist, causing a green carpet to spread over the mountainside.
The intruders fled while her saddened lover stood and gazed down at the strange yet beautiful transformation. His grief was more than he could bear, so out of compassion for his sorrow, Mother Nature molded his massive frames into the mountain and stretched his mighty shoulders high into the heavens like silent sentinels to guard over his loved one. His cries of anguish were softened into love calls to whisper forever.”
I rarely shoot bridal stuff but this was an exception, I loved the location but when I asked him to dip her he must've thought I was shooting the cover of a romance novel or something. About 15 minutes before this, we had a timed shootout contest ~90seconds per person - same people, same location, unedited jpegs only, and I won a 20"x24"x1.5" gallery wrap canvas with that image.
Regardless, I was really happy with how this turned out
