SNOQUALMIE FALLS

The rain had stopped on my way home from errands this morning, and since I had seen the fullness of The Falls on the news recently, I was compelled to stop by to experience it for myself.

But first, a stop to view the river before it tumbles.

"Still waters run deep" - really, really deep:

At last, The Falls is re-hydrated!  We had no rain for too many weeks, and it was 

down to an embarrassing dribble until recently.

When the Falls was not producing much, the nearby millpond (one of my favorite subjects)

had stilled completely, allowing grunge to grow on top.

It was my hope that with so much water now in the river, there would be the invisible but needful

undercurrent in the pond.  It has indeed cleared considerably:

Mt. Si has a more clear reflection now, 

and I am glad I stopped by, as the "colors" are all now burnished, fading

from vibrancy.

I love Autumn!
