  • spring showers equal falls

    Its been raining hard all week, except today which has had sunbreaks, and cloud, but nothing wet.  So when Rob woke up early he asked me if I wanted to go to the beach I said no.  I wanted to go see if the falls we found last weekend was more impressive thanks to the rain.

    So we did...alas it wasn't.

    But several others I had never seen were.

    They weren't big falls, but they sure were pretty.

    babbling creek on the way to the first fall.

    Jamari sitting at the bottom of the first one.  This one was so loud.  The sound was mesmerizing, Rob and I could have just sat there for hours...if there had been some place to sit.  *snicker*

    Zeria re-sprained her ankle just before this picture so she stayed in the car, and Samuel twisted his climbing down at the first falls, so he also stayed in the car, so no pictures of them at either falls. 

    Both of them are sore tonight still.  Samuel came out crying a few minutes ago.  His isn't swollen, but it definitely hurts, as he rarely admits to pain.

    The best view I could get of the first falls.  The  brush/brambles are growing fast this time of year, so it was very hard to get a semi-unobstructed view.

    Kaylin checking the culvert the falls emptied into.  I love this picture, just captures kids natural curiosity.  She said it was scarey down there, as it is in at a slant.   This is one of these falls that you could drive by day after day without seeing, I know we have for the last four years.  ROFL

    Some shamrocks getting ready to bloom.  That's not there "official" name, just what I've always called them.

    And the second falls, yes that's our second oldest dog on the edge of the picture.  Jamari was the "conqueror" at both falls due to his older more adventurous siblings being stuck in the car.  Although Zeria did eventually end up coming out to see this one.

    I love this picture.  I love the bubbling white water.  I try and try to capture that, but I think I managed this time.

    At this falls we *did* find a nice place to sit.  So we did, and just watched it and enjoyed the green green moss, and the sound of the falls tumbling down.

    KK at the falls.

    And Rainee at the falls.

    HMM I'll have to post that later as xanga's being a butt.

    And yes it was as green as the pictures show, no editing has been done on any but the two babbling pictures.   So restful.

  • It sure is green!  We keep looking at old pictures from here in the spring and trying to decide if the camera just tweaked the picture but it does actually green up over here, not like those pics though. lol   I looked up the shamrock plant by the way because I have one that is a house plant and I thought the name was shamrock.  They are!  They grow wild in washington but also make good year round house plants.  So you are actually calling it the right name.

  • Enjoyed your little day trek to the various waterfalls.  The last photo sure is green.....with all your mosture I can understand why.  We have grey sagebursh .   Hope your two kids are out of pain and sprains gone.  Do have a wonderful weekend.  Saturday and Sunday to be about 70 degrees here in the Wenatchee Valley.  Plan on doing some planting.
