Frozen Freefall

'The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze' ~Emerson

Deep in the forest at 3,000 ft elevation is a crown jewel of a waterfall, one that captivates me beyond any I've seen. In spring the rays of the morning sun bring the mossy greens to life. In winter the terrain is fierce, a thigh-high snowy battle to the end, only to round the last bend into winter's magnificence. My breath and body freeze at the final step, while this crystalline framed flow ignites only the imagination.
