When my brother and visited Gorman Falls in December we noticed a rock formation in the falls that looked like a man sitting in the waterfall.  I am always amazed at the shapes of rocks.

The past few days I have been working through my images from the hike with my brother to Gorman Falls in Bend, Texas.  As I write this I am almost through my initial processing of the images I captured while on this trip and I will be getting to other aspects of the trip some there after.

I spent about 2 hours at this location looking for good clean compositions that gave one a feel for the the site and this was quite difficult in that there is a large amount of brush and small trees just in front of the falls.  The area near the falls is restricted due to the sensitivity of the area and I was photographing just behind the small fence which is a short “cliff” next to the pool of water in front of the falls.  I will like post a panoramic image of the falls in the near future and I think that will make the above text a little more clear.

I have been debating if it would be worth the effort to clone out some of the distracting elements. . .

I hope you enjoyed the image,

This week we finally got some rain and that got me thinking that it is time to hike to Sturtevant Falls once again.  Last July Cynde and I hiked and there was very little water flowing over the the falls.  I was curious if the trees were starting to turn color and did see some yellow leaves on my hike, but it looks if the color change is several weeks from now.  I like seeing more water flowing over the falls.

As I have mentioned in past blog posts I am amazed at what plants do to survive.  I like the appearance that this tree is reaching for water and I think the low camera angle enhances this appearance.

I have been working with a number of older images in my files of late and ran across this image.  To me this image reminds me of the evening I captured it.  In fact his image was one of the last images I took using film many years ago.  This image was captured at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge and the cranes were fling to their evening roost.  Watching this event each evening while there is a beautiful event.

On my way back from my hike to Eaton Falls I found this photo.   The long exposure really helps imply the motion of the water around the rocks.

Water and Rocks Downstream of Eaton Falls

I really like how the water snakes around the rocks.  Hope you enjoyed the photo,
