Canadian Rockies Waterfall Turns Blood Red


                                             Before  Picture

                                        After  Picture

                                The creek  Rochelle Coffy followed to the waterfall
     A Canadian couple was stunned when they witnessed the scientific  phenomenon of a waterfall turning red. Fortunately , one of the pair was a professional photographer with camera on hand.
     Rochelle Coffey, a mother of two, had driven witrh her husband to Cameron Creek in Alberta , Canada , following a heavy storm.
     When they saw the creek had turned  a deep shade of red they followed the flow to Cameron Falls to see what they would find there.
     Luckily for the couple , the color change of the gushing water over the rocks from crystal clear to blood red happened before their eyes , though they did have to wait  two hours for the event to occur.
     The phenomenon was caused by high levels of rain washing red-colored sediment from rocks into the water.
     "Earlier in the day  there had been very heavy rainfall, which isn't uncommon , but the conditions must have been just rught to bring down that much sediment," Coffey says.
      She adds she and her husband have visited the falls repeatedly for six years , and had always previously seen only clear water, making the color change particularly  shocking.
      Another photographer waited for awhile at the waterfall too , but had to leave before the water turned color.
       "He missed the shot of a lifetime," Coffey said.
        My spin : Beautiful, and the Coffey's are so lucky. I bet the Coffey's was in awe  of the phenomenon  which they watched unfold.

  2. I just added that line to the last stanza of Gil's poem.I think it rounded the poem off nicely.

    Wow, the Coffey's sure got a shock. They must have thought Moses was standing upstream turning the river to blood.

    When I seen this post, I just had to have it because I wanted to see if I could do what you taught me.
    I know you and the Rock had a good time...Did Jordan get a chance to visit, I hope so??? Was Shayne with them ???
    Gil told me he was going to send you a note, I'm glad he didn't forget.
    I had a talk with him about Dad.
    I call Dad today, he wasn't there, Rhonda says he was looking at the vines....but he called a little while ago .

  7. Our company left about an hour ago. They have an hour's drive. Shayne is such a good looking kid. Too bad he is skinny asbean pole. He and Jakey are a fine pair. They both look like we starve them.

    He was thrill and he talked with Rhonda and told her to keep Dad there, he will be there Tuesday, he wanted to be with his family for the holiday.
    He talked to Shirley and told her to come home and he wasn't very please with her actions.

  12. I'm sitting here eating a little left-over rice.We just did some take-out food.I have to go easy on the rice.Jordy goes back to university on Sunday. She will have her own apartment this year.I can't believe she grew up that fast. She was the sweetest little girl.

  13. Shayne is going to be a wonderful doctor. He already has that certain kind of dedication.My first husband had that kind of dedication to science also.

    Jakey is special. I don't know where he is going. If you get a psychic revelation about that, please let me know.

  15. Oh honey,you did the right thing.It isn't the same as when he used to hare off to help some lazy relative who never appreciated it.
    This is probably one of the last things he will do for his dad.

    It didn't sit right with you from the start.You didn't like dad out there by himself.

    Gil sounded quite proud of Jonny in his note.He thinks he will do very well.

    We was not rich but my daddy had put all his money to good use and left Sis in good shape.
    These damn C* is a sorry bunch.I don't think I like her very much anymore...NAN says to forget them, all of them is nothing but a bunch of leeches.
    I know Shirley asked Gil once why he worked so hard and he told her he was always his own man...his daddy gave him the tools to make his way.

  24. I spat that poem out real quick last night and was too tired to edit it. I have edited a few words now and it goes more smoothly. Please print out a copy to replace his other one. God forbid he frames an unedited piece of shit.I would be humiliated.

  27. I notice you don't hold back on your critisism of these wacky stars we're writing about. I love that. I think that is what SH is about. Someone needs to smack them on the wrist.You're quite good at it. You zoom in on their problem and tell them to smarten the fuck up. You have been giving Lindsay's dad a hard time lately.

    Rhonda/dad was married and after Rosa died they was legally married, so naturally Dad is going to take care of her...It's a long story behind that and I will tell you about it...Rosa was ill and Dad needed a front to protect his son , so it benefit them both and Dad says he cares for her and he wasn't going to throw her to the wolves and take everything.

  36. I would love to know the whole story behind Rhonda and Dad. I wish I capable of writing a book about that guy. His life is a fascinating piece of Americana; Poor boy from Queens builds an empire.Great stuff.

    We may just be able to pull it out of him about Rhonda and the other ladies, he may not tell us where the skeletons are, he says that one part he will take with him.

  38. If I lived down there I would ask him if I could attempt it.It would require weeks and weeks of interviewing him and recording the sessions and translating that to a computer then a manuscript.And I would have to go back to him to double check and re-check and question him about certain characters.It is a long process. and I think it would take me at least a year to complete. If my time was my own I would ask. His story is too good to waste.

  44. Maybe in a year or two,when I know where my life is going, and if he is still alive I will come to him and ask.At the moment I don't own my life. I am just here for other people who need me quite desperately. There's not much of me to go around and at the end of the day, no energy left to pursue anything I want to do.
