Temescal Canyon – First Attempt

A friend of mine suggested the Temescal Canyon waterfall as a subject for one of my 365 photos.  I figured that if I went when there was some rain that I might get a little more water going down the falls for a more dramatic photo.

Well, it turns out that if you get too much rain, there is a bit of a flash flood that blocks the trail to the waterfall (I’ve never been up on this particular hike).  So when I got to the water that blocked my progress, I stopped there and took a picture.  On the way back down the hill, I snapped one more of a nice part wooden fence that runs along the creek.

As for the water shots, I did drive by the beach to see if it would be worth a go-out.  It wasn’t.  It was choppy and crumbly with heavy onshore winds.
