After leaving Creede We start heading up higher on the Silver Thread Scenic Byway. This piece of road goes between South Fork Colorado and Lake City Colorado and goes over two passes.

When we pulled into the Silver Thread campground we found a site and made lunch in this lovely little aspen grove. It is a small campground with maybe 15 sites if that and primitive just a simple pit toilet.
There was a painter in the camp who had this painting out drying, and another about twice as big, covered and tied to the side of his or her motor home
This is a little part of the trail that goes to the falls. The falls is tucked away off to the right. The trail is about a quarter mile although somewhat steep most of the way.
First shots of the falls, it was already midday and so I didn’t think I would be able to stop down my camera to use a slow shutter but I brought the tripod anyway. My little Olympus sp-550uz has a smallest aperture of f-8 so midday was not the best time for waterfalls but it is when we were there 
Some clouds came up from building thunderstorms and that allowed enough light shift for me to get a couple of the slow shutter velvety falls look before the sun came back out.
