Earlier this week I invited Pat for a ramble to a place I haven't been for many years, and to where Pat has never been: Granite Falls.
This is part of the Stilliguamish River that rumbles through a narrow chasm. It is not a "falls" of great height, but a long cascade over immense granite walls and boulders.
Looking down-river, in sun and shadow:
Looking up-river to a singularly-tenacious fir tree atop the granite wall:
Example of the granite and lovely green river:
The granite gorge is fairly narrow, so we were making photos in the unfortunate situation of stark sun and shade.
I was working with a new filter, and was quite pleased with the results; experimenting with metering and settings to make pics of the extreme contrasts that we saw, plus trying to capture "slow" water:
Along the trail to the river, I cannot keep from making photos of Northwest growth:
I have no idea what this pee-wee growth is - some kind of fungus? - but it was so blush-bright and tiny that it grabbed my attention; I nearly stepped on it. It was no larger than my little fingernail:
Infant Goats'--beard? I am not sure. I don't think I have ever seen Goats'-beard before it is mature:
Quintessential Northwest: flora grows ANY-place! This tiny fern - about the size of a salad plate - found a foothold in a seam of granite:
A less delicate fern, but still such an art form:
More ferns, as tree coverings:
And back-lit:
Under an arched old root, backwaters reflect the forest growth. This is not slime, but moving, fresh water:
Here the sun was backlighting young maple leaves, but it was the silhouetted old growth stump that added to the photo op for me:

These are wonderful! Love love the milky jade water. Great capture. Glad to see you getting the hang of slow water. Warning. It is addictive. You certainly found lots of lovely new plantlets. We both saw that lone sentinel tree!
Responding to Pat: Remember my beloved big Nikon? I had my velvet water settings down pat for that one, b/c I could adjust all my other settings manually. It has been the camera-change that has stumped me; that is, in bright-white situations.
