Walking along the stream in the forest near the village of St. Maddalena in Dolomites :)

The village of St. Maddalena is located at the rear end of the Villnöss valley at an altitude of 1,339 m above sea level in the Trentino-Alto Adige region in northern Italy. This is the place where the most popular photographic subjects are to be found, as the Church of St. Magdalena and the Geisler/Odle massif. The main peak of the massif is Sass Rigais, 3,025 m above sea level. The village is a popular destination for tourists, especially those interested in hiking and winter sports.

I went for a very local walk today from home up into the woods on the edge of Ilkley Moor, haven't been up here in years. Never noticed this stream before but it is off the beaten track so no wonder! I've always found these woods rather unsettling or strange. Not sure why.

I walked down by the local creek the other afternoon. The recent rains have increased flow rates and the water in Cherry Creek is tea like from all the fallen leaves. Downstream about 75 feet I notice a disturbance in the water but don't see anything. Then I see something moving upstream on the surface of the water like a big fish. It gets a little closer then I realize it must be an otter swimming vigorously in my direction! It wasn't an otter but an American Mink (Mustela vision). It's in the weasel family and is almost as aquatic as an otter and a nocturnal hunter. They eat voles, frogs, crayfish, waterfowl and their eggs, mice, rabbits, snakes, and aquatic invertebrates.

It got to within about 6 feet of where I stood backlit with camera on the monopod, it looked up at me then swam a little circle around a rock then scurried out of the water on the opposite bank and darted under a fallen log! Wow, glad I had the long lens! Pinch me and I do believe in luck. Mendocino County, North California U.S.A.

Happy Bench Monday :)

A small stream flows a few miles from my house, a sweet refreshment break and a fresh 5-minute drive.
