It has been somewhat of a disappointing weekend for me thus far. I had big hiking plans, but could not get any sleep on Friday or Saturday nights. Ugh, why does this happen when I want to get up early? I turned off my alarm both days. I am still thinking of going out Sunday afternoon. Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. Should I or shouldn’t I? I don’t really want to be tired for work on Monday either.

On the plus side, Nekoda had a dance performance at the El Dorado County Fair in Placerville on Saturday, and she and the rest of the girls were awesome as usual.

This is the Upper Falls on Canyon Creek. The true Upper Falls. It is hidden away around a corner and the trail does not go by it, and there is no path over to it either, so I suspect that most people go right on by it without even knowing it is there. I would not want to miss this one. It is really a fabulous waterfall, 96 ft. high, and has an interesting fan shape, sliding into another big enticing pool. I climbed out on some huge logs in the middle of the creek to take the shot. They were swaying back and forth in the water, not really good for setting up a tripod on, and I wish I had better light, but this shot turned out ok.
