Wouldn't it be great to stop time just for one moment... to keep that for as long as you wish, then come back again and again for a while? Taken shortly before my previous pic, on a bridge over Plantsbrook. Zak and I saw the water tumbling over the rocks upstream, and we met some lovely people and their beautiful dogs too. We were happy there, Zak and I.

Hope you like my dreaming... and my picture too. Thank you so very much for all your wonderful comments and faves on my photos - you're all really appreciated. Better go and look at yours now !
Out of the way, unnamed on maps, this is a back country tributary of the North Branch of the Boquet river and may see spawning Landlocked Salmon soon, up from Lake Champlain. Not long after it will become a passage of ice and snow for treks through cold north country forest.

The Yaquina River (ya-KWIN-eh) is a river, 59 miles (95 km) long, on the Pacific coast of the U.S. state of Oregon. It rises in the mountains west of Corvallis along the county line between Benton and Lincoln counties. It flows south, then generally west, in a highly serpentine course, and enters the Pacific in Yaquina Bay, a broad estuary at Newport.
A large charter fishing fleet operates out of Newport in search of halibut, salmon, and other fish found in the nearby ocean. Species within the bay include cabezon, striped perch, rockfish, greenling, salmon, sturgeon, herring, and crabs. The river upstream of the bay supports populations of salmon, steelhead, and cutthroat trout. The river and bay are also fished from the banks in places and from small boats. Boat-launching ramps are available along the lower river and the bay.

a moment in the flow...

Took this up Little Cottonwood Canyon. Earlier in the year this was a ferocious river, lots of trees and other debris left behind until next year's runoff.
A view from one of the Snake River feeder streams - gives a wonderful calmness tot the mountains The main river was running very high and fast.
A long exposure emphasized the bubbles circling below this small falls, just upstream from Douglas Falls
Upstream from the last post. I pretty much missed the good foliage but there is still a little color holding on in the lower canopy.
A beautiful location just over the bridge in Quebec Provence, Canada. This was taken in the fall of 2018.
Looking upstream from the Beartooth Lake outlet at the Butte of the same name.
"When you visit Beartooth Lake you will immediately notice the large butte on the opposite (west) shore of the lake. This is Beartooth Butte; a formation that has a completely different geologic origin than the surrounding area. During the Devonian period (420 - 360 million years ago) this entire region was covered by a vast sea. For several million years sediments deposited on that sea bottom compacted tighter and tighter to ultimately become sedimentary rocks. The resulting layer of rock, named the Beartooth Butte Formation, was at least 150 ft thick. Here on the Beartooth Plateau, the layer has been eroded away everywhere except here at Beartooth Butte.
The sedimentary rocks that make up Beartooth Butte are loaded with fossils from the various organisms that died and were buried in the ancient ocean. Geologists and rock hounds visit Beartooth Butte to sample rocks from the formation.
While Beartooth Butte is the namesake of the Beartooth Butte formation, the layer of rock is found in other mountain locations in Montana and Wyoming. Although these locations are hundreds of miles apart, there is no doubt that all of the areas were once part of the same inland sea."

Have a wonderful (and safe) Friday and weekend!

I must admit that I tweaked this so much that it could be a viable HSS candidate, but here it is on Tuesday. Sometimes, a guy just wants to make a nicer photo than the actual conditions.

Light rain, gray skies, and a babbling brook. Grab me a comfy chair and wake me up in a couple hours. The water was cold, clear and inviting. My journey upstream begins.
Taken on a gloomy day when there is little sunshine.
The water flowing through the river seems to be very cold.

Ponts Couverts in the la Petite France district of Strasbourg, France.
They are a set of three bridges and four towers that make up a defensive work erected in the 13th century on the River Ill. The three bridges cross the four river channels of the River Ill that flow through Strasbourg's historic Petite France quarter.
Construction commenced in 1230, and they were opened in 1250. As a defensive mechanism, they were superseded by the Barrage Vauban, just upstream, in 1690, but remained in use as bridges. As built, each of the bridges was covered by a wooden roof that served to protect the defenders who would have been stationed on them in time of war. These roofs were removed in 1784, but name Ponts Couverts (covered bridges) has remained in common use ever since.
