Another Beautiful Day For Pictures

A little late getting this posted as the trip was taken last Friday, but, none the less, I wanted to share it.
Another warm winter day to enjoy out getting fresh air and grabbing a few photos to share. The first two pictures are of a falls a short ride from home and a very beautiful falls year around. Due to lay of the land, one is somewhat limited as to the angles of shot they can get. But even then, it is something to behold. Only about 60 feet high and depending on the time of year, it can produce a raging falls or a little flow cascading down as in these pictures. In the spring, it rumbles as a large quantity of water rushes over the falls on it's way to the river below and thus on to the sea to start the cycle all over. Usually, these falls are all covered in ice from the cold winter temps, but this year, or at this time this year, very little ice cling to the falls and the rock in which the waters flow can be seen shining in the sun.Quite yet powerful, the waters that run over these falls end up flowing into the Snake River at the bottom of the falls and westward as they continue the long changing journey to the sea just to start the whole cycle all over and who knows where the drops will fall on the next journey.
The landscape picture, shows the mountains behind our home (which is in our backyard, not from where this picture was takin'). The tuft of cloud that sort of makes a half ball (center left) sets right over a mountain top we call Baldy due to it's lack of trees. The mountain tops in the background form the big mountain which is part of the divide between Salt River Drainage and the Grey's River drainage looking up Willow Creek canyon.
A short trip but a beautiful day to enjoy being out and about. A warm winter's day that as just great to set and take in some sights in just a t-shirt and pants with no jacket needed. Some call it Indian Summer, others, false spring and there are many names for it besides these,but no matter how you say it, it sure beats the cold below 0 weather and makes for a great break in winter.
I plan to get out again soon and if the weather forecast is correct, it may have to be in a snow storm. Hope not, but if needs be, I guess we'll deal with it. So, check back soon to see what our next adventure unveils and we share some of the scenes we get to enjoy as we search and find "Nature's Secrets".
