Well, I might have thought I would be back in Snowdonia by now, but I was reading earlier it might be months before the law is changed and we are allowed back to our favourite places in Wales.
But like many others, during lockdown, we have been exploring closer to home. It's taken me a while to dig out some local Ordnance Survey maps and work out a couple of interesting circular routes in areas I've not considered before (although I've never been one for going to the same places time and again, haha!). I might never have taken this shot except some sixth sense told me to look behind me. Nothing beats a walk like this on your own when the countryside is this beautiful. Just peace, perfect peace.
the water in this stream tastes quite acidic, the next one nearby tasted alkaline !

Clouds stream in from the Pacific coast as a fresh weather system sweeps in. Northern California. Mendocino County, U.S.A.
Reflections of the sky and a footbridge with railings that crosses The Hogsmill River just where it joins The Thames.
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.
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.
Kaiwhakauka Stream above the waterfall. While the trail carried on, we elected to walk down to the base to see if there were any Whio.

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.
Clouds stream by over the trees and grounds of the park area there at Seneca Rocks, West Virginia.
Happy Bench Monday :)
Large view to flowing water among a mossy gorge. The Trôs Marets stream takes its source in the High Fens.

My tripod is broken so I haven't shot any stitched panoramas for a while, but this scene just begged for a pano crop.
