Frozen Waterfalls

So it was cold here last week. Not like Minnesota or Iowa or Massachusetts cold, but colder than it's been in our lifetimes in Portland. In fact, it was cold enough to freeze waterfalls! : ) So Jeff, Nandi and I took a trip to Multnomah Falls to see the frozen falls. Multnomah wasn't entirely frozen, but it was moving much slower than normal.

Here's Multnomah from the parking lot. : )


And Jeff and I. Nan is there too, but she's not in the shot.


Here are the lower falls, from where we were standing in the previous picture. Doesn't it look snowy? Notice how everything else is brown and ugly and now snowy? Yeah, the weathermen here lie and make me sad when they promise me snow that doesn't show.


Here are the upper falls:


Check out the blue green color that showed up in the upper falls!


On our walk back down from the upper falls (on the bridge) we noticed that there was nobody on the bridge. That never happens, so I made Jeff whip out the camera super fast and get some pictures. I don't mind people in pictures, but only when I know them. ; )


Then we hiked over to Wakheena Falls. We saw this little wall of icicles on the way.


And here is my favorite wall that normally has water trickling down it. Obviously, there's a good bit of water there when it freezes; people were climbing it when we walked by.


Here's Jeff and Nandi near the bottom of Wahkeena.


And me and Nan; you've gotta watch out for this one! She's got sneak attack kiss issues that I was just recovering from. : )


Here's Wahkeena from the bridge that was crazy icy and scary to walk on, so I made Jeff do it.


The same spot with a slow exposure.


And more Wahkeena with some cool ice.


There was this cool log with a ton of horizontal icicles on it.


And here's Jeff, Nandi and I at Wahkeena (don't mind Jeff, he has balance-while-on-ice-with-a-dog-issues).
