QUICKIE
So how do we top the last image of Abiqua Falls? Umm, not gonna happen folks. I suppose I could just keep giving you more images of Abiqua Falls. That will happen in time but as far as all the other waterfalls we saw on our Oregon trip, none of them are even close to comparing to Abiqua or Henline Falls, the last two waterfalls I posted. I saved the best for first. So sorry about that. You will just have to deal with it. But hey, do not worry too much, we did see some other pretty waterfalls on the trip. This is one of them: Upper Butte Creek Falls. It is only 23 ft. high, but it is a pretty one for sure, and much easier to get to then Abiqua Falls.
I came to this one first, arriving at the trailhead when it was still dark. It is a short walk from there down to the upper Butte Creek Falls so it was before sunrise when I got here. I did not want to wait around however. I was not sure how much time I’d need to get to Abiqua Falls and that was my primary goal. I could NOT be late getting to Abiqua. That would be disaster. So I setup and started shooting this waterfall right away. I did have to turn up the ISO on the camera but only to 400. The photo here no doubt does not look like it was taken at about sunrise or before, as you can see it is quite a colorful image. The nice thing about cameras is they can see things your eyes cannot see, so what may have been a bit dark to my eyes, the camera could see very well. Anyway, it was a quickie here at Upper Butte Creek Falls; after shooting this, I then scampered down to the lower falls and then scooted back up to the car. No time to waste. Onward and downward to Abiqua Falls.
