So Closely

Light at the End


This cave was so amazing, mesmerizing, and beautiful. Deep inside there were leopard frogs in pools, water flowing from somewhere deep inside. We hiked for about half an hour before we turned back. Just when it started to get to the crawling point, we decided we had seen enough wonderment for the day. It was truly an amazing thing to see.

Over the Rocks


Beautiful how the water flows over the granite rocks. So much color in the middle of winter. The sounds is inviting and relaxing.

Under the Ice


The ice from this stream had broken away and I could see just under the ice. Very intriguing.

Ripples in the Ice



Frozen in Time


 


Under the Ice


I love how the ripples froze into puzzle piece like shapes.

Along Side


 

Along side the frozen waterfall, watching the dripping water splash into the pool below. Shimmering and beautiful. Winter can be very grand.

Frozen Giants


 

These giant icicles are taller than I am. In real life they are amazing. These pictures just do not do them justice. This entire canyon is enclosed in them. Giant icicles….they are truly beautiful.

Splash


Meandering along, flowing away, splashing down.

Glory of Green


The Glory of Green in a approaching Spring landscape.

Granite and Green


Beautiful flowing creek with granite rocks covered in moss. The sound is so amazing and relaxing. The view is a never ending beauty. I will be back here in the spring, summer and fall. This is a place to experience in all the glorious times of the year.

Flowing Along


Another picture of the hidden treasure off the highway. The waterfall flows down some rocks, around a bend, and down into a beautiful stream that meanders along side some gravel roads until it reaches the Meramec.

I’m going back in Spring when all is awake, all is vibrant, all is alive.

Hidden by the Highway


Down a gravel road I met a friend. Asking for directions, unlikely friends are made. The best friends are found this way. The connection to others who love nature such as myself. Ray. Ray took me to a beautiful hidden treasure off a highway. No one knows it’s there really. Just some locals, a few passer-bys who happen to hear the roar of this beauty on just the right day. Littered with trash and nonsense on the trail to get there, this gem is hidden from everything. Tucked away by nature to preserve it’s beauty. Preserve it’s innocence and magnificence.  Thank you for sharing Ray!!!

Another Angle



Cutting through the Rock


Amazing what the power of Nature, the force of water, the weathering of time can do. Natural Bridge – Gasgonade County – Missouri

Around the Bend


Down the rocks, bending through the woods, a little clear stream flows on.

Trickling On


Down through the woods, through the rocks, into the flow…. Beautiful little creek. Beautiful little place.

Flow On


Water flowing from a little spring from a cave, down into Hamilton Creek. Caves, springs and creeks are all so lovely.

Growing in the Spring


Little plants growing in a spring during the middle of winter. Hamilton Creek area in Missouri. Gorgeous, water bubbling up from the bottom of the pool, everything in it so green with life, while the surrounding woods were monotone in the color of winter.

Trickle


LaBarque Creek – water trickling down the rocks. Such a beautiful sound, such a lovely view.

Looking Up from Under the Bridge


Hiking along a trail, I crossed a bridge over a dried up creek bed. I jumped down and got under the bridge to see another perspective. I thought the fern was very elegant amongst the fall leaves.

Gatherings in the Creek


Down at Hamilton Creek, where it feeds into the Meramec, an accumulation of seeds, flower petals and leaves. Beautiful how the water ripples over, so clear that you can see the rocks and leaves below the surface.

Life Whispers


This is one of my favorite pictures. I love the fog in the background, the definite landscape, and flowing water. It’s just beautiful. It speaks to me….it’s whispering something…..


Jennuine Nature


In October (2011) I received a Canon S-95 as a birthday present from my dear friend. Someone who saw something in me, that I, myself, did not recognize.

Weekends on clear Missouri Rivers, hiking in Missouri Conservation areas, and just enjoying the beauty of nature, resulted in a new passion. My passion for being surrounded by nature and beauty, and a new passion for capturing it.

Thank you Michael. What you saw in me more than outweighs the material gift that you gave me.
