The second gallery, hosted on PBase by "Dave H", consists of photos taken from a canoe. Very Cool! They managed to capture several shots of a Great Blue Heron in taking off and in flight, as well as a Great Egret "in repose" as they float by.

The hightlight for me of their photo-journey was the crossing of the Morrison Creek Flume. When I spotted this, I was blown away, and am now determined to rent a canoe and do it myself.

They took a great photo looking back west across the flume to Mather Lake, showing a plush, green "explosion" on the other side of the cold concrete flume.

The flume crosses the Folsom South Canal and is about 15 feet above the water in the canal. After riding my bike below the flume, along the canal bike trail, and hiking past the flume from the lake side, seeing it from the Douglas side (now the Safeway shopiing center side) was pretty cool.

I hope to find more photos of the lake and nearby park and Morrison Creek, or photos of the seasonal vernal pools. If you have photos, and are either unable to have them hosted, or don't know how to post them online, email me and I'll gladly host them, or help you to set up your own gallery online.
