You Capture: America / Copper Falls pt. 1
Yay! For once my subject matter happened naturally. On vacation, we traveled to Copper Falls. I think one of the great things about America is that there is still so much of it that is untamed. Here we were, in the middle of nowhere, trekking through the woods and still surrounded by so much beauty. So this is the side of America that I’m choosing to share. The untamed side.
*Side note: the water is actually not muddy- it was really quite clear! There is a tree or something that drains into the river causing it to turn the color of root beer!
I took over 300 pictures at Copper Falls so there will be a part 2 tomorrow. Don’t worry, I will not share all 300 
Funny – I was just thinking about you when your comment showed up
Really cool pictures, its hard to imagine sometimes that there are parts that arent “Untamed” I love the woods, lakes, rivers and such so much…great perspective too!
Pretty place, my dogs would love it there!
Such a beautiful place! I wouldn’t mind being there myself…
So beautiful! I’ve never seen water that muddy before. . . you’re right- “untamed” beauty is a perfect way to describe these pictures! :]
I just love it – this is truly God’s natural gift to us and you’ve captured it beautifully!
Gorgeous! What a great place to visit. Thanks for sharing your corner of America!
You go to the pretty places. I want to know where you live (so I can visit all this beauty myself!). Those falls are aptly named, huh? Very nice photos Bec!
He he he, Cooper. Yeah I’m hopped up on Vicodon right now, but those are some very pretty shots.
What a gorgeous place!
Looks like an amazing and breath taking place! Great shots!
Oh wow! This is SO not what I think of when I think of America! Truly beautiful!
That is beautiful!
gorgeous trees – but I have to say the water looks like beer flowing through! (giggles)
That water is so interesting!
So many great photos and that water really is the color of rootbeer! How cool.
Oh those water pics are amazing!

Gorgeous! Especially love the close-up tree trunk shot.
Oh! I just love untamed America! You are right. It is so pretty and natural and GORGEOUS! We live in a very beautiful nation! Great post this week!
What a beautiful place! That water really does look like root beer.
Wow – amazing place. Love the root beer water. Incredible.
These pictures are incredible!! I especially love the way you captured the motion of water so vividly.
I love these things. I love running free through Nature… just being there in the wild. There’s nothing I like more.
Lovely! Some of those overhead shots looking down make me feel like I could fall right in.
Beautiful pictures. So peaceful.
Wow…SO gorgeous. Great shots.
oh beautiful!!!
Looks like such a magical spot. I love the colour of the water. The river in my home town is brown and dubbed ‘the upside down river’ as the silt from the bottom always floats to the top.
Breathtaking. I forgot how much I miss the forest. Rainforest is different.
Oh how gorgeous! Although I am now craving a root beer float!
You captured some incredible pictures of an amazing place. I especially like look out over the TOPS of the trees. What a view!
Hey! Great pictures! I REALLY love the one of the tree looking up.
I have some questions for you about your wordpress banner & layout. If you wouldn’t mind can I email you a few questions?
Thanks!!

Beautiful! The “root beer” water reminds me a lot of Tahquamenon Falls in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan (where I lived for a time). The brown color there is from the tannins of the cedar trees in the area. I wonder if that’s the same of these? The untamed areas of the country are so lovely! It’s refreshing to breathe the air and listen to the sounds of nature, isn’t it?!
