Lemmon Falls at Ritter Island

from $75.00

Horizontal orientation. Canvas prints are available with optional barnwood or hardwood floating frames hand-crafted by the photographer, making a truly unique and one-of-a-kind piece of art. Please see images for details.

Lemmon Falls is located at the Ritter Island portion of Thousand Springs State Park. This section near Hagerman includes a historic dairy farm operated by Minnie Miller in the early 1900s. Most views of the falls are from directly in front, which is nice as well, but I loved this view from the picnic area at the park. The clean, clear spring water flows through the park and down to the Snake River here, and I wanted to include the water as well as the falls, framed by the branches of the Locust tree on the shore. I slowed the shutter speed here to 1/10th of a second, which helped smooth out the water a little without being so slow that leaves and grasses had movement blur. Everything about that morning was peaceful when I shot this image shortly before 6:00am on June 10, 2026. As usual, there were no other people, and the waterfowl came and went freely. The air had a cool mist from drifting from the falls, and all was calm. This image draws me right back to the scene each time I see it and has quickly become one of my favorites.
