I posted this before but it fit's today's prompt so perfectly!
This is a fountain at the #BelknapResort on the #McKenzieRiver in #Oregon. The sound of the water trickling is very nice "music" indeed.

The #McKenzieRiver is bordered by some dense forest for the majority of it's 90 mile journey, from the Cascades to the #WillametteRiver.

We just spent a couple days in a cabin on the banks of the #McKenzieRiver. Just sitting on the deck, watching and listening to the river was so soothing and relaxing!

#Scape day is here!
Here's the trail views through the wonderful mature forest along the #McKenzieRiver in #Oregon
#ForestFriday #Friday #Forest #Nature #Hiking #LandscapePhotography #📷 🌲 #PNW #EastCoastKin
A good wide light brown path through dense woods, with dappled sunlight falling on the path and some of the leaves in the trail side bushes in brilliant green. Two or more medium to large Douglas fir trees line either side of the nearby trail with gnarled bark showing deep crevasses, and more of them can be seen in the tall forest ahead as the path curves under them. The overall landscape tends down from upper right to lower left. The trail is cut out level and descending through this part of the forest. A tall portrait image of a river running through tall green fir, cedar, and pine trees, forming a living canyon that takes up most of the image on the left and right of the river. The river is centered in the image, and is visible from about the center of the image to the lower edge of the image where it becomes obscured by thicker brush with green seasonal leaves. Small rocky portions of the river send the water tumbling in white turbulence. There is blue sky overhead with patches of white cloud islands, and some hazy higher clouds. A view into the middle section of a heavily forested area, with massive trunks of pines and fir trees coming from off frame at bottom to out of frame at the top. Other smaller tree trunks are also visible through the frame as well. Green pine and fir needle bearing limbs jut into view from the trees throughout the image, with both direct and indirect sunlight hitting them from above. In the center right of the image, and upturned thick mass of an older tree, perhaps upturned roots, enter the frame. And growing out of it at odd angles, but always turning toward the sky, are many small young green fir trees just starting life. The ones toward the top of the old tree catch the sunlight on their tops. Our light tan forest path gently turns up a small incline from bottom center right, to the middle of the image where it crests the rise and disappears. Either side of the path are many bright green low shrubs and small young conifer trees reaching for sunlight. Further up the small slope are fallen logs lining the path, or cut to allow passage of the footpath. Atop the slope are many trunks of mature pine trees of moderate girth that all rise up out of the frame at top. Their branches of green needles hang down from higher up. Hidden among them on the right of the path is a massive Douglas Fir tree trunk with it's furrowed dark bark. Through the trees, the light colored sky can be seen in contrast to the tree trunks and green limbs.

Looks like it's #WaterfallWednesday!
Here's just one from yesterday's hike along The #McKenzieRiver in #Oregon!
This trail really delivered for both exercise, and amazing sights!
A densely forested view with a broad waterfall and it's river bisecting it. The green conifers effectively narrow the view to just the river, with several large downed logs fallen across the base of the falls, and one in the lower left foreground. Also in the lower foreground across most of the lower half of the photo is an underwater natural shelf of stone submerged by shallower water, under which can be seen brilliant greens of algae flourishing in the sunlight there. The river channel next to the shelf is a deep blue green where the shelf drops off into deeper water. In the bottom center there is a jagged upright bright reflection of the sky from the top of the falls between the trees. The falls above the downed logs has a very white churned up appearance with little detail or character. The sky over the falls is limited to a gap in the trees and has a hint of blue through slightly overcast clouds.

McKenzie River Trail- Sahalie Falls, Koosah Falls, and Blue Pool Loop, Willamette National Forest, near Sisters, Oregon Sahalie Falls as it spills into a blue pool churned with whitewater below. Three streams of water form the low water Koosah falls, which is one large flow in higher water. Amazing how much water there is even in September. Looking down into the blue abyss that is Blue Pool. The logs seen at the bottom are just that, and not to be confused with sticks by the perspective in the 30 ft or so deep water.
