When you are limited to a quick stop, this 5 min walk from the parking lot was a perfect pit stop. Ricketts Glen is a beautiful park wit a fantastic series of water falls. I prefer fall color but early spring isn't all bad.

Nice. I like the little ferns in the foreground. I think a CPL would have helped cut some reflection. I don't leave home without it.

Unfortunately,the sun was at my back and the CPL had little effect. This is a tight view with only one place to shoot so you do what you can do.

There is something so appealing about waterfalls, and they really fill up the senses with beauty and sound. I love the different rock levels and angles here, a beautiful image James!

I really like this. All of the elements are in nice balance with each other.

Thanks for the comments. I think this fall might be my favorite of all of the falls. The nice thing is the 5 min. walk from your car. In a perfect world the CPL would have cut some of the reflection but maybe next time.
