I've wanted to visit Cascade Creek in the winter to see how it looks with snow on the ground. Following a snowfall, I took the opportunity to head up and take a look. It's wonderful to see bare trees with bright green growth in the water, plus a little steam in the cold air. This scene focuses on trees in the foreground, with the steam adding some nearby aerial perspective.
