Spring Flowers

I enjoy wandering the sagebrush hills in search of flowers, playing with the light and feeling the peace and quiet.  The only noises are the sound of the birds singing, the brush of the tall weeds against your pants, the rustle of the grass with the breeze.  I can waste hours enjoying natures beauty, in the quiet. It doesn't always have to be about the big views, incredible mountains, and high lakes.  I enjoy finding places that I can hike over and over again and still enjoy all the beautiful flora and the great outdoors with very little effort.  Places like this make it easy to get out in the evenings and empty the mind of all the daily grind. 

Falls Creek Falls - May 2018

Wow, the amount of water coming down this waterfall was incredible.  I have visited this falls in mid summer, but spring is the time to go see it.  With spring run off this falls is pretty fascinating.  We were able to visit it in late afternoon and catch the light filtering through the trees with the spray from the falls bouncing up and creating beautiful misty light.  The trail to the bottom falls is a short distance on a paved trail with a gentle grade.  You can continue on farther up the trail for more views.  Nature is a beautiful thing, it's so good to get out and enjoy it.
