Maybe Beetlejuice can hold the ceremony for you. |

nah, I'm not a climber just a hiker.
In January I'll put on snowshoes or crampons, hike in there to see the frozen falls and hopefully see some eagles. The eagles hang out at the park because the lock and dam doesn't freeze. They can eat all winter on the stunned fish who surface downstream. |

I have a question for steve
These are all really nice pictures, and I have been wondering how people are able to focus on one object, and leave everything else blurry. Steve-o, I noticed you do that alot in you're pictures. Can you please explain it to me?
This is what I mean...
