The Edge of the Falls

Looking over the edge of the waterfall. This is an interesting perspective and the wavy flowing stream makes some neat patterns in a long exposure photo. In a couple more months these mountain laurel will be covered with beautiful flowers for about 1 week.

Spring Waterfall Mountain Laurel

Beside a beautiful waterfall during the springtime, in the Mountains of West Virginia. The water turns a silky white with the long exposure photography. This particular waterfall is found in the Twinn Falls State park and is one of two waterfalls found on this trail.

Deep Ravine Winter Waterfall

Deep in a forest ravine near the Blackwater River in West Virginia. The water is ice cold and only flowing because of the constant motion. The temperatures are in the single digits but the ice and winter snow make the scenery alive in the dead of winter.

Alluring Cascades Pirouette

Everything was made to give praise and glory to the Lord. This alluring waterfall cascade is no exception. What is a Pirouette? It is a French word used to describe a twirling ballet dance. Just as this waterfall whirlpool dances before the Lord to His glory and praise.

The Secret Place

A hidden waterfall enlightened by heavenly beams divine. Everyone needs a secret place to get alone and consider the very most important areas of life and our existence. Often the cares and concerns of this life distract our frail minds from the truths of our eternal destiny. Where is your “Secret Place”? Although you may not always be able to retreat to a different circumstance or location there is a secret place given from above that is available to all who will enter. Matthew 6:6 and Psalms 91:1

Autumn Leaves Near Waterfall

Below a one hundred feet high waterfall these colorful autumn leaves were found upon the forest floor. I thought I would arrange them on a rock in a way to capture the waterfall and creek at the same time. The various shades and colors of these leaves depict the forest that surrounds the beautiful waterfall.

Waterfall Cascades

Beautiful Waterfall Cascades among moss covered rocks. If you zoom to 100% on this image you can see great detail. 50% may actually be the optimal setting. We love finding and photographing waterfalls.

Blue Ridge Waterfall

During the rain showers we gathered under the canopy of trees so that I could take some pictures. These falls are so high that I could barely fit them into the frame. I am shooting this at 28mm which is pretty wide. These waterfalls are 150 feet high and are fed from a mountain spring just above us on the mountain ridge. That is why they are called falling springs waterfalls.

Forest Waterfall Icy Ravine

During a winter snow storm we hiked down into the New River Gorge. All along the mountains sides just above the New River are creeks and runs that pour down these mountain sides. One of these creeks is Keenys Creek. This is one of the most scenic and unknown areas of the New River, and the waterfalls along this creek are astounding. This particular waterfall cannot even be seen from the ridge top above but you must climb down into the ravine. This is one of our favorites.

Spring Forest Waterfall Rocks

A Colorful Spring Forest Waterfall on an early spring season day. This is called dark hollow waterfalls and is just off skyline drive near Shenandoah Virginia. This is a great place to visit and I recommend hiking the waterfalls.
