Lakes, Rivers & Waterfalls

A long lasting golden hour on the lake. Rocks catching the slow crashing waves.

Many think of Autumn as a time for bold and vibrant colors but the clouds that were present this day, and the chill in the air, called for a little less bold, and a bit more moody.

Bridal Veil Falls up Provo Canyon, Utah, late afternoon.

Every which way you turn or look, there's a gorgeous view up Provo Canyon, Utah. The steep granite cliffs tower over you as the river flows below. Nature at it's best right here in Utah.

Utah Lake, Utah. The sky was on fire this particular night, but it dipped so fast behind those clouds and mountains that you had to enjoy it for the few minutes the sky lit up.

It was a calm day on the lake, not much movement in the water, but just enough to create a few ripples. Mirror Lake, Utah.

Provo River just about a half mile up stream before it drops into the Upper Provo Falls. You could be driving so quick along the Mirror Lake Highway that you'd miss seeing this beutiful corner of nature. Uintah Mountains, Utah

An afternoon spent relaxing on Mirror Lake can really bring you back to your center and refocus on what is important. Mirror Lake, Utah

Upper Provo Falls, just before fall seasons arrives in the Uintah Mountains, northern Utah. This was the perfect time to visit, I had the entire falls area to myself!

Never Ending Fire - Utah Lake Sunset

Wow is what comes to mind with this sunset! As the sunset started it didn't look to be all that impressive but then it dipped below the horizon and the sky just lit up and looked on fire! Taken July 2018 at Utah Lake, Utah.

Path Along Mirror Lake

A calm day on the lake, just wandering around the path that winds through the trees and over the inlets. Mirror Lake, Utah.

Astoria, Oregon - Columbia River

From the Washington shoreline on the north side of the Columbia River, we look over the river at the gorgeous hillside of Astoria, Oregon.

Multnomah Falls - Columbia River Gorge - Oregon

This particular photo was taken on a trip to Oregon in 2014. I am posting it now in 2017 just as the Eagle Creek fire is blazing and destroying so many areas of the beautiful Columbia Gorge. I am saddened that the gorge will never quite be the same as it is now. The fire was human caused which makes it more devestating. I realize mother nature has her way of using fire to rebuild, and replenish. But human caused fired is simply so sad and devastating.

Horizon On Fire

Through out the day you would not have suspected it would be a colorful sunset as there were no clouds in the sky. But as the day wore on, a line of clouds formed on the horizon, leading to this stunning display of color and sun. Taken 2017 on the shores of the causeway at Antelope Island, Utah.
