Upper Butte Creek Falls is a picturesque, 20-foot waterfall in the foothills of the Cascade mountains east of Salem.
I visited during an overcast, dark autumn day with rain threatening. There wasn't much color near the waterfall, so I arranged a couple of the huge maple leaves on a rock.
This is a focus stack for the foreground and background. I was wearing my water shoes and got very cold standing in the water to capture this picture.
Since this visit, I have longed to return, but unfortunately, the area has been closed since the Beachie Creek fire of 2020 burned through the area.
