Lake Idlewild Outlet Area

One of my favorite things to photograph is running water, especially waterfalls. As you might expect, there are not all that many opportunities in Kansas for this, but we do have more than one might think. Of course these are not the 90-100' type waterfalls, but still pretty and peaceful to listen to. This set of photos was taken at the outlet area of a small lake, Lake Idlewild, near Waterville, KS.

Enjoy and Happy New Year!

Pillsbury Crossing

Here a few pictures from Pillsbury Crossing taken on 11-15. Despite being chilly and windy, it turned out to be a nice evening with some beautiful light.

Enjoy!

Pillsbury Crossing

I've always wanted to photograph Pillsbury Crossing with some fall color, but never have managed to get what I've wanted. I knew I would need a morning shot to get some light on the trees above the falls. On the 18th we had some really heavy fog in the morning so I thought I would go out and take some fog pictures around Pillsbury and then when the fog burned off shoot the waterfalls. When I got out to Pillsbury though the fog was gone, so I shot the trees around the waterfalls and my timing was great, there was one nicely colored tree in the perfect location and a nice blue sky to go with it. When I got back into town that morning though, Manhattan was still in heavy fog, so I headed out to Marlatt Ave and was able to get some fog pictures. Maybe mornings are not so bad after all...

Elk City Falls

On our way to Arkansas (see the previous post) we stopped at Elk City Falls southeast Kansas for me to shoot some pics, which can view here.
