Walking Through A Japanese Garden part 2
A few more from my afternoon in the Portland Japanese Gardens.
Milky Stream
Here are a couple of images from my Photo Excursion That Almost Wasn’t. This was the first time I was using my Cokin filter system. I was given a tip by one of my friends, Tim Floyd, that a ND 8 filter really helps with capturing running water, and give it a milky look to it. I think it works pretty well!!!
The Photo Excursion That Almost Wasnt…
Yesterday afternoon I wanted to go out on a photo excursion. I packed up my new Cokin Filter system (Birthday present from Wifey) my tripod, and camera and head out on my journey. I get about twenty minutes outside of town and I stop to take a picture. I raise my camera and GUESS WHAT my battery was DEAD. Now I didn’t take my spare batteries because I knew they were dead and needed to be charged. I was thinking I had to head all the way back home to get a charger and than drive all the way back out to take photos. However, as I was rummaging through my backpack I found a travel charger, but no way to charge my battery. I than found the power cord to our travel tv’s. which plugs into our cigarette liter. I was than able to charge my camera battery and Crisis adverted. I felt like a mini Macgyver. The photos from my trip will be posted shortly. Hope you enjoy them.
Holland Falls
If you are ever in Western Montana you should totally check out Holland Falls. It’s a very easy 1.6 mile hike along Holland Lake. It’s a good hike for all ages as well.
It’s great for a family outing and plus there are several campsites right on the lake.

Frozen Falls
I recently took a journey up to one of our local attractions in the San Luis Valley. This local attraction happened to be Zapata Falls. It was my first time. I didn’t really know what to expect. I have to say when I first got up there, I was a little disappointed. All I saw was this little frozen water fall.
Then a family came up behind me, and climbed up the ice and into a little cave. So, I decided to follow them. Boy, was I stoked, because I found some spectacular frozen water falls.
When it gets a little warmer out I will have to return and see the water falls flowing.
