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.

Rocky stream, Finland.

 

A visit to familiar rapids after a long time. The view was surprisingly green considering there is already autumn color elsewhere.

 

It's nice to have these kind of places nearby where you can see seasons change and usually find some scene to photograph.

Looking down the stream running through the main (lower) archaeological site of the monastery of Glendalough (County Wicklow, in eastern Ireland), on a cloudy midday in mid-May.

 

The Valley of the Two Lakes -- the meaning of the Irish "Gleann dá Loch" -- is nestled on the eastern side of the Wicklow Mountains, located within the Wicklow Mountains National Park / Páirc Náisiúnta Sléibhte Chill Mhantáin. This stream runs beside the monastic site of Glendalough, which was initially founded in the 6th century, by St. Kevin, and is now maintained by the Office of Public Works (Heritage Ireland).

 

Archaeological evidence supports the understanding that streams, springs, and other bodies of water were of importance in pre-Christian Celtic religion. Walking around Glendalough, it is not difficult to believe that it could have held spiritual significance even before St Kevin's settling there.

Mill House dating back to 1830 in Flat Rock, NC. In the mid-1900s the Mill House was converted to apartments. The original Mill House and a hand full of other surrounding buildings now operate as a resort.

While hiking along a road there in Yosemite, I could hear this flowing water off in the distance. Headed off into the woods and came upon this glorious scene.

 

Captured with the CPL filter only here in the low light of the woods.

Well worth a look in lightbox.
