"Thy spirit within thee hath been so at war,
And thus hath so bestirred thee in thy sleep,
That beads of sweat have stood upon thy brow
Like bubbles in a late-disturbèd stream,
And in thy face strange motions have appeared,
Such as we see when men restrain their breath
On some great sudden hest. O, what portents are these?"
—Shakespeare, Henry VI, Part One, Act 2, Scene 3
Had a nice little trip down here on this rainy afternoon, I wanted to freeze the splashes and bubbles in this one, the only shot I took with the Sigma 10-20mm! I then changed to my old Pentax 50mm for a different perspective.
A small stream through Kvačianska dolina (Kvacany valley) in Northern Slovakia. I spent an entire day hiking this valley and its neighboring Prosiecka dolina on my way back. (Canon Rebel Ti, Canon EF 28-90mm II, Fuji Velvia 100, tripod)

The stream pictured is Bear Creek. The location is on the bridge across from Barnett Hall in Kirksville, MO. The picture was taken on November 4, 2019 around 11:30 am. Even a small stream or lotic system contains a complex ecological system within it. There are several layers in the stream: the hyporheic zone, benthic zone, and main channel. Along the stream there are also riffles and pools. Each of these sections has a diverse array of organisms with varying jobs. The hyporheic zone is often home to detritivores and sedentary organisms. The benthic zone and main channel contain the more free moving organisms. Riffles and pools have different flow rates and oxygen levels which provide the proper environmental conditions for different organisms. The stream can also provide an example of a food web or trophic web. Algae or aquatic plants growing on the rocks and in the bottom of the stream are eaten by insects, detritivores, and some macroinvertebrates. These smaller organisms may then be eaten by larger macroinvertebrates and/or fish. The algae and plants represent primary producers while the insects that eat the plants and algae are the primary consumers. The larger macroinvertebrates and fish are the secondary and tertiary consumers respectively.
I'm using a bamboo dip pen and Noodlers Ink and no pencil. It is a bit challenging...the ink is thick at first, but thins to nothing and then dipped again. I love the fluid wonky lines...The assignment for class was to draw 'breakfast'....lol
This is the project i'm working on on my design wall. I'm ready to sew blocks and rows together. It is all raw edged piecing.

I took this photo last year and didn't get quite the effect I was after. So, this year, despite a long day transporting equipment up the stream, followed by a four hour dive in the cave, I couldn't resist nipping back with the tripod and trying to beat last year's effort (though I only had five minutes to play with and Os had the engine running when I got back!)
This streamway up to Trou Madame is usually dry (you can walk up the river bed), but after heavy rain it turns into this.
Also my first experiment with the Singh Ray Vari-N-Duo filter (this was on about the 6 stop setting). Slightly miffed that I forgot to zero-out the camera from the last time I used it so this ended up being shot at ISO 800, but the file still looks clean enough to me.
An eastern pipistrelle bat making a fly-by in the stream passage. Also notice the grotto salamander below the pip on the lower part of the wall.
John Clare knew and loved this stream:
"I love to see the Beech Hill mounting high,
The brook without a bridge and nearly dry,
There's Bucket's Hill, a place of furze and clouds
Which evening in a golden haze enshrouds."
(Bucket Hill was the old name for Buckhurst Hill)
Nearby is Lippitt's Hill Lodge the mental asylum that once held the peasant poet, John Clare. Run by the kindly Dr Allen, Clare entered as a voluntary patient in 1837. He improved and was allowed to walk in Epping Forest. In 1841, he grew worse and with the help of gypsies, he escaped and walked first to Enfield and then some 80 miles home to Northborough in Northamptonshire. He was then restrained in Northampton Asylum where he died 24 years later.
