Mill Creek First Falls

This is a shot of the water entering the pool below the first falls at Mill Creek in Ellison.  If you live in the Kelowna area and have never been to this park in Ellison it is worth the trip.  It is a pretty easy walk to the first falls and then you can continue on to more falls, a reservoir, and a pretty deep canyon where you need to be more careful.

Two Types of Fishers

I like this shot because of the contrast between the “fishbird” and his simple equipment and technique and the fishermen and their methods.  My bets are on the bird for getting the biggest haul.  This photo was taken in the bay at Sayulita Mexico.

This creek in the valley in Montana where “A River Runs Through It” was filmed.  It is a beautiful area with plenty of trout fishing.

Akaka Falls – Hawaii

If you ever make it to the Big Island of Hawaii make sure you visit Akaka Falls.  We spent a day and drove around the island when we were staying in Kona and we were passing the turnoff to Akaka Falls right as the sun was starting to set.  It had been a long day so we nearly passed on the falls but made a last minute decision to stop.  It was definitely worth it.  It is a very beautiful falls that is over 400 feet tall.  Wow.

Cool Butts

I thought this was a funny sight – just a guys hand with a hose cooling off these two polo ponies after they were done with their match.

If you didn’t know this already each polo player has a set of 4 horses to be used in a match which consists of 4 chukkas or quarters.  The horses get tired by the end of their chukka so they need to get swapped out for a replacement.  It’s definitely not an economical sport.

Fishin’

When my wife and I were hiking in Cathedral Provincial Park I was soaking my toes in the lake to soothe the blisters a little and this is what I saw.  He didn’t catch anything while I was watching in case you’re wondering.

Solitude

I took this with my 300mm telephoto.  This windsurfer was way out there all by himself enjoying some great wind.  He was really flying.

Margaret Falls

If you ever go camping at Herald Provincial Park near Salmon Arm, BC, make sure you make the short hike up to Margaret Falls.  The hike itself is cool because it is through a rain forest microcosm in a narrow canyon in a region of the province that is quite dry.  You get the the end of the canyon and there is this great falls that is quite hard to get a good picture of because of its size relative to how far back you can get.  I could just barely fit the falls in my frame with my widest angle lens.

Waterslide

My wife came across this waterslide in the middle of Montana that isn’t very close to any cities.  I took this shot looking up into the sun so that it filtered through the semi-transparent slide.

Grand Prismatic Spring

If you are ever visiting Yellowstone National Park you will likely see the Grand Prismatic Spring.  It must be one of the easiest things to get a good picture of.  God created the amazing artwork and you just have to take a picture of it.
