Mossy Falls

This lush cascade is located just north of Tibble Fork Reservoir in Utah on Route FR085. It flows into the American Fork River. This spot had me at hello. I had spotted a beautiful waterfall along the side of the road and spent an hour shooting that one. I've learned that before I leave a site it's always a good idea to snoop around a bit before I move on. Boy did it pay off today. Just upstream from my original shot, I found this amazing spot absolutely brimming with moss and silky waterfalls. I don't know what it is about a mossy waterfall, but I love them. I think it is the concentration of life I always find in waterfalls and mossy streams like this one. So, the lessons for today are don't be in a rush to move on too quickly, even when you think you have found a good thing, and always celebrate life and good things that grow in pure places.
