The Truckee River flows downstream towards the California/Nevada (CalNeva) State Line.
If you had asked residents of nearby towns a year ago if they though the river would look this good now, the answer would have been NO! Many people in California are over-joyed to see the mountains full of snow and our rivers and lakebeds raising from the "dead" again.

A prominence at the edge of the sun provided us with a splendid view of solar plasma as it churned and streamed over less than one day (June 25-26, 2017). The charged particles of plasma were being manipulated by strong magnetic forces. When viewed in this wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light, we can trace the movements of the particles. Such occurrences are fairly common but much easier to see when they are near the sun's edge. For a sense of scale, the arch of prominence in the still image has risen up several times the size of Earth. Credit: Solar Dynamics Observatory, NASA.
The beautiful Cheonggyecheon Stream in Seoul, South Korea at Night. One of many unique attractions in Seoul.
Found this great stream with ice sculptures. Flows from an old mill. Composite of two photos with different shutter speeds. The slow was not tack sharp so I took sorroundings from another photo.
You can walk on eggshells
get egg on your face
be a tough egg to crack
or egg someone on...
be a good egg, a bad egg
or an egg head...
there are more, but I didn't want to put
all the idioms in the same basket.

Norway. I have just returned from another trip to Norway, again in the far north way above the Arctic Circle, which despite it being winter - predominantly dark and cold - there was a significant lack of snow on the ground...not to worry, the aurora borealis put on a show every night throughout the trip to make up for it. And feed the sleep deprivation!

Personal favorite of June, the summer stream, same place of the winter stream of Nov one.
I fiddled for ages with different colours and levels but I think this gave the most overall sinister look and showed off the shiny wetness of the twigs.
The only really cold morning of the trip had left a heavy frost, so consequently the cloudless sky didn't provide much in the way of dawn colour. Still, another chance to work on focus zones!
Rickreall Creek is a small stream that flows through the middle of Dallas, Oregon. In the winter it is not so tame, and becomes a rushing torrent several feet deep. In the late 1800s and early 1900s the stream was used to float logs down river for several miles to a sawmill. On balmy warm days like today it is used by children from the surrounding area as a huge wading pool for cooling off.
The USGS GNIS placename database was used to make this map. Any stream whose name ends in "Branch" gets a purple dot, any whose name ends in "Run" gets a green dot, and any whose name ends in "Brook" gets an orange dot. Stream names that end with other terms, like "River" or "Bayou" are not shown.
This map shows a strong geographic pattern in the use of these stream terms. "Brook" occurs mostly in New England and New York. "Run" is confined mainly to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and northern West Virginia. "Branch" is common in the South, including Missouri. Indiana, Maryland and Appalachian Virginia use both "Branch" and "Run". New Jersey uses all three terms. There are other curious patterns, such as a cluster of "Branches" in southwest Wisconsin and "Brooks" in Minnesota. All three terms are rare in the West.
