Rain had to go somewhere

In late April we had a lot of rain. Rain has to go somewhere. Here it goes into Riss Lake, and the overflow feeds a creek that then goes down a series of waterfalls in the Parkville Nature Sanctuary. Normally the flow is moderate, and late in the summer it slows to a trickle. But after several days of heavy rain, WOW the lake level was high, the creek was out of its banks and the waterfalls were amazing. Felt like being in the mountains during spring snow-melt.

I took many photographs, some of which are normal "hold the camera as steady as you can" but still using a long shutter speed to get the nice blur on the water. On some, I also added some of my normal vertical movement, and on these you can see the vertical camera movement interacting with the horizontal movement of the rushing water. Kind of cool!
