I knew when we started the photography for the Kansas 10×5 book that I wanted to feature some locations that might surprise those with preconceptions of Kansas. Waterfalls are not something we’re known for, but we do have several nice examples. This one is Butcher Falls on Pool Creek in Chautauqua County. It was running pretty strong when I visited on June 7th last year. It was supposed to be my second falls of the day, but I couldn’t make it to the first one I’d planned to photograph in Bourbon County due to roads being flooded out. I shot one other waterfall later in the day in Elk County. That image did make it into the book but this one was eventually cut during the editing process. Still one of my favorite Kansas falls, and one I know I will photograph many, many more times.
