This is the major benefit of the early start - undisturbed sand!
Unusually for me - a colour photograph of sand!

This spillway is part of the Provo River, which is running pretty fast as water is released from an upstream dam. In the distance snow-covered Mt. Timpanogos shows the source of all this water.

last year had HUGE amounts of snow in the Sierra, so in June there were massive quantities of snowmelt pouring out of the mountains... just amazing to see

As the weather warms and the snow recedes, the waterways swell. The rivers surge with the added power.
At Zapata Fall's we did some walking around and found a road that went to the other side the creek but with the water runoff you'd have to shimmy across on that pipe. lolol

The upper falls are more 60m / 200 feet across with a drop of approximately 15m / 50 feet with a peak spring runoff volume of nearly 200,000L / 50,000 gallons per second- -making the upper falls one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River. The upper falls lie with in Michigan's Tahquamenon Falls State Park, Luce County.
The yellowish / brown colour of the water stems from tannins leached from cedar swamps from the rivers watershed. The foam on the river results from the combination of soft water (low mineral concentration), lignin proteins from decaying organic matter, and turbidity. The Upper Tahquamenon Falls is a 75 mile / 120 kilometer drive from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan- -temperature at the time, 37°F / 3°C.

A creek flowing through a shady little patch of green. I'll have to revisit again in different seasons.
Yet another shot from my trip to Whittier, Alaska. This is one of many, many waterfalls you can see everywhere around Whittier. The entire town is surrounded by mountains and glaciers, so there are runoff streams like this practically everywhere you look. The fog and rain were just a bonus...
This waterfall/rapid is quite large and was captured as a five shot pano last May. It was so noisy to stand there, that someone could have shouted next to me and I wouldn't have heard them. Lovely spot, though! In hindsight, I should have had a person in there to give some sense of scale. It was quite impressive with all the spring runoff.
Kingsbury Creek and all other Duluth creeks are running high as April winds up. Fortunately we haven't combined the big melt with intense rains, or we would see a lot more flooding.
I took this last spring when we had some nice flow in Camp Creek. I'm still
hoping for more snow in the Pikes Peak region, it's been way too dry this year.
A tremendous flow coming off the bottom of Bridalveil Fall. It was a bit of a challenge keeping the mist off the lens, having to clean and wipe it dry between shots. Yosemite National Park, California, USA, June 2023

Runoff from the Skaftafell Glacier flows into the lagoon that forms at the base of the glacier.

The hot water runoff from the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park has wonderful colors and textures which can be seen when the ever present clouds of water vapor blow the other way!

Water runs down from the peaks of the Tenmile Range in central Colorado. As its name suggests, from the northern base of the ridge just west of Breckenridge to its connection to the Mosquito range on its southern edge, Tenmile Range is exactly thirteen miles long.
