The Ephemeral And The Ethereal
The waterfalls at Zion National Park this week, which are mostly ephemeral, possessed an ethereal or apparitional look. This was due to the high winds that swept the water every which way.

The Waning Fall Colors At Zion NP
I didn’t spend too much time this autumn capturing the fall colors at Zion Canyon so I kind of caught the tail end of it.
” I’m Only Happy When It Rains”
It finally rained at Zion National Park yesterday after a month of parched earth. Things come alive when it pours and it really poured. Waterfalls appear and rising fog adds atmosphere. The Virgin River at The Narrows was closed due to a flow rate of 787 CFS, which is cubic feet per second.
Catch Me If You Can
That is to photograph the elusive seasonal waterfalls at Zion National Park. Visitors ask me where are the waterfalls. I tell them, to their disappointment, that they only appear when it rains. Which it did earlier this week. This was the only waterfall I spotted which combined with the fall colors in the park, presented some nice photo opportunities.
California’s Magnificent Coastline

A Rainy/Snowy Day At Zion National Park
It mostly rained here the last 3 days and this desert environment can sure use it. When it rains in Zion Canyon, a cool thing happens. Like rainbows appearing out of nowhere, we are treated to instant waterfalls. A lot of visitors here ask me during the dry season, ” Where are the waterfalls that I’ve seen photos of?” Sorry Ma’am, but you have to be here when it rains. Like today! All the usual suspects were producing falls. The snow was in the higher elevations and those images will follow soon.
Yellowstone’s Amazing Waters- Hot and Cold
Yellowstone National Park is a wonderland of waterways. Living in the parched desert of Southern Utah, I was jealous of the vast network of waterfalls and rivers that are ubiquitous in the park. During my recent trip to Yellowstone and The Grand Tetons, I was amazed how green and lush the landscape was. And don’t forget the hot waters from springs that generate a myriad of colors from the bacteria that flourish there. Click on image for larger view.
