Cedar Creek small waterfall
We've had about 90mm of rain over the last three days and thus Cedar Creek is now flowing quite happily again. This little waterfall is at the end of Cedar Creek Road.
Since it's Friday and I was home a little early (still daylight), I decided to stop by and take some photos before it got too dark.

I see water has slowed down. Hope you received lots of rain. If Monday is overcast I will trek up to waterfall.
Best I take my mobile just incase I fall. Is mobile reception avaivable in those river valleys.
Nice clear photo. Not possible on a sunny day so this weekend make the most of photos.
No, or very spotty, mobile reception out here John.
As for the rain, it would seem our tanks are now full (or very close) :)
love the grasses on the foreground! fantastic composition.
Thanks Maria. I drove up here this afternoon because John (cindytoo) had mentioned there were some good spots up here and I still had enough daylight to do so. This little waterfall can be seen from the road when you cross the bridge there. I had to clambour down a wet embankment in order to get to a suitable place to take photos from, but it was worth it :)
Great movement effect. I like this more than the ones that are a bit closer. The green grass gives good balance (damn, ruined my aliteration).
Thanks frumbert. I hit an online thesaurus but could find no word meaning balance that begins with a g. ;)
Pleasant peaceful scene.
Nice shot.
Nice shot, I can never get these to work. :-/
Thanks guys :)
Redwolf, there are many tricks to this sort of thing. In this case, it was nicely overcast, so no bright sunlit blowing out the highlights. I used the smallest aperture available on the S2IS - i.e. f/8 and opted for a 2.5 sec exposure as it was long enough to get that lovely moving water effect, but not long enough to be too bright. Oh and a tripod obviously is essential :)
absolutely beautiful shot. thanks for the information about timing, i've been experimenting with this stuff too. i'll have to use a tripod next time.
David, thanks for the guidance. I'll try it!
Gorgeous David, so soft and beautiful (and thanks for the tips on how to do this kind of shot I will have to give it a go sometime )

So very beautiful, cool and fresh - rain has its qualities too :)))
Thank You for sharing this treasure. I put one in just for the fun - but it's a priviledge to be able to see so many excellent shots on ONE theme!
