Thunder Bay waterfall-Lake Galena Illinois time lapse

On my latest trip, I stopped by the Thunder Bay Road waterfall/spillway. Since they had about 2-3 days of rain and snow, I knew Lake Galena would be spilling it's banks. I was not disappointed except for the excessive spray coming from the falls. The wind was whipping up the mist and carrying it towards me and my position on many occasions. I hope to return this summer and capture it during it's summer or fall bloom.

Dunning's Spring Decorah, Iowa timelapse

While planning a trip to visit a friend, I needed to pass through Decorah, Iowa and discovered there is flowing spring and 200 foot cascade waterfall called Dunning's Spring. The weather was rainy when I arrived and it continued to increase the whole 4 hours I was at the falls. The last 6-7 series of time lapse shots (25 minutes) were in a complete downpour. Luckily, I had recently purchased a double layered and stitched umbrella that held up quite well in the wind and rain. My last one fell apart in another downpour last fall.
This is a beautiful waterfall sans the leaves and I can't wait to revisit the park in full summer bloom.

Cascade Falls Osceola Wisconsin time lapse

Having not been to a waterfall in over 5 months, I headed to Osceola Wisconsin to get my waterfall fix at Cascade Falls. This one is usually the first waterfall to show open water as spring slowly arrives. A previous visit earlier in the year yielded a completely frozen fall. The morning was brisk and cold. I had not dressed properly despite being bundled up quite well. As you view the video you can see I finally have my icicle shots and moving water for my winter video.
