Waterfall Wednesday 7/25/2018

[AlanLichty]

Another Wednesday another waterfall fest

There are a number of intermittent drainages below the amphitheater of Bryce Canyon that feature some cascading runoff when water is actually flowing. On one spring trip there with some late season snowfall I came across one such waterfall from the snowmelt that reminded me of Cappuccino and since they don't actually have a name I named this one Cappuccino Falls.

Cappuccino Falls

An intermittent waterfall on the east side of Bryce Canyon.

Pile on.......

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Very nice, Alan. In keeping with the cappuccino look here is the Grand Falls of the little Colorado River during monsoon season. This is often called Chocolate Falls because of the color of the water.

 

[MonikaC]

Very nice, both of you!
Another unnamed fall in Colorado's Front Range

Alan, Always nice to see water flowing in the desert. Hard to gage the scale here.

Watson Falls, North Umpqua River Basin (3)
With a height of 275ft. there is lots of mist and the rocks are slipper than, fill-in-the-blank.

Runoff with the Falls in the background
Didn't think about lining up the falls in the background with the tumbling FG flow, not sure if it matters?

A more intimate version, shown here before
A broader close up, simplifies the scene. F13 @ 1/2 sec.

That waterfall is so cool with the island splitting the water flow.

From Yellowstone.

I sure want to get a shot of that waterfall one of these days. Any idea after it rains how long that waterfall flows?

 

[Darcy Grizzle]

A very mini mini fall at Bloedel Reserve in Bainbridge Island Wa last week hahahaha. No much but it is a fall!

About 10' at most. Not a particularly tall set of falls but tall enough to call them waterfalls

Here is a USGS website that gives current data. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?site_no=09402000 As you can see the waterflow is low right now because we have a pause in the monsoon rain. You can also see how long the decent flow occurs after a monsoon storm. The ideal flow for the falls is 2000cfs or more. The spring melt runoff from the White Mountains is much more consistent.

At any rate when you decide to photograph them you can stay with us. It is about 1 1/2 hours from our house.

BTW I love lower Yellowstone Falls and this is a nice image.

These are all nice, Zeph, but I like the last one the best.

We don't judge anyone here on the size of their waterfall, Darcy. This is a nice image. The only suggestion I have is to darken it a bit.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Ok, I can just barely see now, but here is mine.

Nice image, Kyle. This one and Athabasca Falls are my favorites along the Icefields Parkway.

 

[Guy Schmickle]

Beautiful shots everyone! The waterfall pictured here may not be the main subject of this scene, but I think it still qualifies for this theme. Porphyry Falls in the San Juan Mountains near Silverton, CO.

Talk about dedicated, Ben. Nice job.

I love it, Guy. For anyone who doesn't know, the drive into this area crosses a section of narrow shelf with a several hundred foot drop off that will make anyone's cheeks pucker.
