I arrived at Governor Dodge State Park early in the morning as the sun was shining through the fresh ice and snow covered underbrush. It looked like diamonds were growing out of the vegetation. I had planned on capturing Stephens Falls also located in the same park, but I had a misstep on a small patch of ice at the 2 1/2 hour mark and cracked the back of my head against a rock wall, some blood and a minor concussion. Of course I had to finish up with my sets, so I captured 5 set more to complete the shoot. I now had a five hour drive home...... Be careful out there!

Apple Canyon Falls-Jo Daviess County Illinois
Neither rain nor snow not even the beat of the wind will keep me from looking like a complete idiot while standing on the side of a busy road during a rain/snowstorm to capture a waterfall. Yea, with that said, that's what I did while desperately hanging onto an umbrella trying to keep my equipment dry....well, from getting soaking wet, anyway. Apple Canyon Falls is a spillway for the recreational Apple Canyon Lake. I have driven by the falls years before, but it was during a dry season and there was no water flowing at the time. I hit the jackpot this visit.
