Goldstream Park ~ Part 1 Senic shots

Goodmorning everyone!! Well this morning I wasn't about to give up all the goods with the Goldstream post. I had such a lovely collection of pictures that I thought I would post images in fazes. First I wanted to give you a glimpse of how beautiful Goldstream park is. Allot of families go out for picnics, hikes, walks and they love the Nature house where the children can go and listen to a story about nature. Very popular area. My shots though are not of the populated areas, I tend to hike into a world all it's own to show how tranquil things really are and can be. These shots are from different locations of the stream itself. During our rainy season these banks flood and are quickly filled with spawning salmon...which attracts all kinds of wild life including the Bald Eagle...I'm going to go out when this happens to try and capture this wonderful event, even though the smell is something to be desired. The Bald Eagles actually will sit on a dead fish and will stay there while they eat...which as you know is a great opportunity to get that wonderful shot!!

  1. Well, Crista, I think you managed your dreamy water pictures. Lovely shots. Looks idyllic.

    Your mention of the smell reminded me that the past few days the villages has been visited with what my mother called 'fresh country smells' - the farmers had been muck spreading and the wind was blowing in our direction!

  2. These remind me of Great Smokies in Tennessee. Wished I lived close enough to something like this to photograph it. Very very nice.
