These are just a few pics of the many little mountains streams we found while exploring the area this fall. These are right off the roadway and made for a very scenic drive.
A small explore along the stream from Boswiddle Ford.
I couldn't get as far along as I hoped, but still, it satisfied my 'wonder what the view is like round that bend' thoughts.
I need wellies and a bit more spinal flexibility to really get along these streams.
A small stream that I found today. It was peaceful and I took just a minute to enjoy it. Then it was back to the real world :(
Kuli'ou'ou Canal, Honolulu, Hawai'i
These tangerines were laying in the shallow current in the canal. I had to get dirty for this shot.

My little town slopes downhill and I live on the downhill end, so whenever it rains, it all washes down my way and floods my yard. Here is the ditch that runs along the front of my house by the road. You can see it's full and running fast, like a stream. Less than a half mile further down from this picture is the city limits - where it was actually flooding. See the picture below.

I was using a slow shutter speed and hand holding my camera.

Crossing The Stream. John Muir Wilderness, California. August 31, 2017. © Copyright 2017 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Two backpackers (and their dog) negotiate a stream crossing in the John Muir Wilderness.
I was out photographing around the lower end of the lake above this stream when two backpackers passed by. I was fascinated by watching them as they came through here, and their progression to and across the stream reminded me of some aspects of backcountry travel that are important and quite different from how we live our typical day-to-say city lives. They were moving efficiently as they approached the obstacle of this stream at the trail crossing. At first glance the crossing seemed obvious, with the trail clearly arriving and departing from opposite sides of this wide spot in its course. But, as is frequently the case, the crossing wasn't as simple as it first looked — the water was unusually high for this time of year – and no ideal crossing was apparent. They stopped, looked around, tried a few options, finally settled on stepping across on slightly submerged rocks, and they crossed. The first hiker got across fine, and the dog followed, but the second hiker slipped into the water just a bit and then apparently lost a set of glasses. They pondered a bit, realized that they couldn't get them back, and then set off, once again moving with a purpose across the meadow and on toward a higher lake.
I now think of something else when I see such backpackers, younger (to me, anyway!) backcountry visitors who seem in many ways like me a few decades ago. I envy their ability to carry large loads and to move quickly. I can still carry what I need to, but it is harder and slower than it once was! I also think about how much they cannot yet know about their potential future in these places, including the prospect that their appreciation and connection to the wilderness will grow and mature in ways that they cannot yet foresee. Sometimes I want to stop and tell them... but I never do.
