Not sure what's going on, but this app has seemed dead lately. I can't believe I'm saying this because I have hated the Meta products for years, but recently I've been sharing more work on Facebook than here. Give me a follow at www.facebook.com/timothykeene... for some of my latest images.

I powerful waterfall gushes through a narrow break in a basalt cliff before splashing down in an oval pool below.

Gates of Geirlandsá I love how the bend in the river and stone gate make such a perfect lead-in to Fagrifoss, one of my favorite waterfalls in Iceland. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall

A bend in a blue river leads the eye through a stone gate and a large waterfall behind. Both sides of the canyon are covered with green moss and grass.

Flashback to April and Vancouver Island’s beautiful Lower Myra Falls. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #vancouverisland

Vancouver Island waterfall cascading down stepped rock into a deep green-blue pool then flowing with force over sandstone ledges in the foreground.

I’ve shared a couple non-traditional images from Kent Falls. Now here’s the classic view of the waterfall steps from the bottom of the gorge. It had been raining on and off and there was a slight fog at the top. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #connecticut

Several waterfalls form steps descending a gorge with bright green spring foliage at the top and on either side.

A couple weeks ago, I took a trip to Ohiopyle. Heavy rain overnight made the creeks run very full. The highlight definitely was having Cucumber Falls to myself for the hour I was there! #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #pennsylvania

A large plunge waterfall spills over a rock ledge into a milky-brown pool below. There are moss-covered rocks in the foreground and saturated green foliage to the upper right of the waterfall.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· Jun 6

Here’s a small waterfall for those of you who are staying in this Saturday like I am. I liked this section of the creek best because of the tree at the left and how the water navigated over the foreground rocks. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #connecticut

I small creek tumbles down over mossy rocks in an early spring Connecticut forest. There is a large tree trunk at the upper left and the long exposure has captured a white splashdown pattern below the falls.

These newly grown ferns caught my attention during a recent hike at Kent Falls and served as a reminder that some of the most interesting parts of nature aren't always the biggest or most dramatic ones. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #connecticut

A close-up image of a dense grouping of newly grown ferns on a Connecticut forest floor.

I've visited this location when there was much more water in the creek. While that can be impressive, the lighter flow on this day made it easier to appreciate the moss-covered rock and surrounding details. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #connecticut

A small waterfall drops through a rocky ravine of light gray stone. Vibrant moss blankets the foreground and the large rock formation to the right of the cascade, while a dark pool sits below.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· Jun 2

You never know what you’ll find in the woods of Connecticut. I estimate the combined drop of these two waterfalls as only ~15 feet, but I think what they lack in height, they make up for in overall interest. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #connecticut

Two sequential narrow waterfalls sit in a lush setting of moss-covered rock with a fern anchoring the middle of the scene to the right.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· Jun 1

Part of what keeps me photographing waterfalls is that each one has its own personality. Even after visiting hundreds of them, I rarely come across two that feel the same. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall

Waterfall flowing over layered rock ledges in a forest. The water fans out across the moss-covered stone before dropping into a shallow pool surrounded by green vegetation and fallen leaves.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· May 31

Another Connecticut spring waterfall scene just downstream from the one I shared yesterday. While all of the trees had not yet leafed out, the moss, hemlocks, and mountain laurel lent green color to the scene. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #connecticut

A Connecticut woodland waterfall meanders around large moss-covered boulders in early spring.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· May 31

The way I do it is to look for creeks that pass through areas with very tight contour lines. Often the best waterfall gorges are the ones that have the “U” shape like in the photo below. That said, there are some very large and famous waterfalls that would not be able to be identified like this.

Example of a topographic map with tight contour lines.

One of the things I love most about waterfall hunting is that while you may suspect a waterfall will be there due to the topo map, you never know what it will look like until you arrive. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #connecticut

In a Connecticut forest in early spring, water from two small waterfalls joins in a pool and then continues on to form a third below. The creek is surrounded by rocks covered almost entirely by green moss.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· May 28

Two weeks ago, I shared a photo of this waterfall in the fog. Here is a slightly different composition from before the fog settled in. The main drop in the back is ~75 feet and is the uppermost of 5 large falls on this creek. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall

A tall waterfall drops in a narrow crevice before tumbling down through a boulder field at its base. The upper third is surrounded by hemlocks and other trees.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· May 24

It’s a bit difficult to tell, but the upper ~1/4 of this Connecticut waterfall is spilling over a man-made stone wall. I assume this may date back to a time when the creek was used to provide power. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #connecticut

I graceful waterfall spills over a moss-covered stone wall on top of a naturally-occurring ledge and into a shallow pool below. There is a large, partially submerged downed tree trunk perpendicular to the waterfall and green foliage hangs above the scene.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· May 21

Less than a half mile from a highway, but feeling a world away, this waterfall tucked into a Vancouver Island forest drew me in with its steep gorge walls and emerald pool below. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #vancouverisland

A Vancouver Island river bends and then forms a waterfall flowing over dark rock into a deep green pool. Above the gorge is a dense evergreen forest.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· May 20

Connecticut’s public lands are full of small waterfalls like this, which is part of what makes exploring them so rewarding. One of the things I enjoy most is bringing structure to scenes that initially feel chaotic. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #connecticut

Small multi-tiered waterfall flowing through moss-covered rocks in a dense green Connecticut forest. White water cascades between dark boulders surrounded by spring foliage and patches of bright green moss.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· May 19

A section of Connecticut’s Kent Falls after some rain. The dark, water-worn rock and spring greens really came alive in these conditions. I shared this photo yesterday during the outage; giving it another go now. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #connecticut

Two-tiered waterfall at Kent Falls in Connecticut flowing through dark sculpted rock and surrounded by bright green spring foliage after rain. The upper cascade drops into a small pool before spilling through a narrow chute into the foreground.

Fog makes everything better. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall

On a foggy day, a tall waterfall drops in a narrow crevice before tumbling down through a boulder field at its base.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· May 12

A waterfall photographer might be the only person crazy enough to start on a trail in a downpour. Last Saturday, I hiked in the rain to see some new-to-me falls. Here, lush green moss was complemented by deep red fallen leaves. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall

A woodland waterfall drops through a shaded ravine, where clear water flows over layered rock with bright green moss and deep red wet leaves along the sides.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· May 8

Conifers get all the attention in the PNW, but I was drawn to the red alders common along roadsides on Vancouver Island. Social media will hate these photos, but Friday is a dud anyway so it’s a perfect time to share them. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #vancouverisland

A roadside row of white trunked red alder stands in front of small western redcedars and other conifers.

A small creek is lined by red alders with buds swelling leading to conifers in the background.

A row of red alder treetops with deep red buds stands in front of conifers fading into the fog.

A deep grove of budding red alders is in front of light fog-covered conifers.

I had always avoided Kent Falls due to the crowds, but a rainy visit yesterday turned out to be pretty great. Here, the upper drop squeezes through a break in the rock before fanning out for a total of ~70ft height. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #connecticut

A tall waterfall dropping through a narrow gap in rock and spreading out over mossy ledges below in the gorge at Connecticut’s Kent Falls State Park.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· May 7

I’m basically out of Vancouver Island photos, so unless you want to see slightly different compositions of shots I’ve already shared, I’m going to need to find a way to get you jazzed about Connecticut waterfalls. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #connecticut

Long-exposure of a small waterfall flowing through moss-covered rock into amber-colored water under a canopy hemlocks and early spring leaves.

Downstream from Lower Myra Falls on Vancouver Island, water rushes through a narrow rock channel toward Buttle Lake beneath low clouds and light rain. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #vancouverisland

Water rushing through a narrow rock channel toward a forested lake on Vancouver Island beneath low clouds and light rain.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· May 4

I don’t ever add anything to images that wasn't there in the scene. I do occasionally remove things, however. In this case, it was the initials that someone had carved into the tree trunk at the right. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #vancouverisland

Water in a woodland canyon spills over a ledge and into a green plunge pool before continuing downstream framed by a tree trunk on either side.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· Apr 29

In this Connecticut image, moss-covered cascades step down through a forest of new spring growth. After recent rain, the moss took on a saturated look that reminded me of the woodland scenes on Vancouver Island. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #connecticut

Tiered waterfall cascading through a moss-covered forest, with multiple small drops flowing over rock ledges surrounded by green foliage.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· Apr 27

On Vancouver Island, a waterfall spills through a rock gap into a deep green pool before continuing downstream past moss-covered rocks. The steady current gives the scene a sense of motion from back to front. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #vancouverisland

Clear water flowing from a waterfall and around moss-covered rocks in a forested gorge on Vancouver Island.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· Apr 26

Lower Myra Falls on Vancouver Island, where water descends a series of rock steps into the pool below. The sound of the falls filled the gorge and made it easy to forget about everything else. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #vancouverisland

Waterfall cascading down stepped rock into a deep green-blue pool within a wide sandstone gorge on Vancouver Island.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· Apr 23

Going into my trip, I expected to see some dramatic waterfalls. What I didn’t anticipate was how breathtaking the Campbell River canyon would be. Low clouds this day added a sense of mystery to an already spectacular view. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #vancouverisland

Foggy canyon with a river winding through mossy rock walls and lined with conifers.

Timothy Keeney@timothykeeneyphotography· Apr 22

I appreciate all the support of my Vancouver Island work recently. Keeping with the theme, here’s another waterfall. A short hike and rope-assisted descent brought me face to face with this beauty. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #vancouverisland
