Swimming Hole

Water entering small rapids.

Next 5 shots taken underwater with underwater camera.

McCloud river is so clear and beautiful, it looks like these were taken thru glass at an aquarium.

Lakin Dam

Lilies along the river bank were in full bloom.

Evening settling over the river.

Another beautiful swimming hole.

While we were enjoying the evening here, right at dusk, we had a beautiful display of the nighthawks swooping in over the river to catch there dinner.

I would love to have this grass in my garden along my streambed!

Not in Siskyou County, but beautiful and worth showing

Hedge Creek Falls, Dunsmuir California

A great spot to cool off on a hot summer afternoon.
This small waterfall tumbles over a cliff of columnar basalt lava
and then continues to cascade over bedrock outcrops and boulders for a short distance to the Sacramento River. The cliff provides a cave to play in behind the waterfall.
We had a wonderful time catching salamanders and just getting wet!

The color is overwhelming and actually choosing the flowers to buy is near impossible.
