The Siuslaw River ( sy-YOU-slaw) is a river, about 110 miles (177 km) long, that flows to the Pacific Ocean coast of Oregon. It drains an area of about 773 square miles (2,000 km2) in the Central Oregon Coast Range southwest of the Willamette Valley and north of the watershed of the Umpqua River.
It flows generally west-northwest through the mountains, entering the Pacific at Florence. The head of tide is 26 miles (42 km) upstream.
It is part of the homeland of the Siuslaw people, after whom it is named. Citizens of the Siuslaw nation lived in villages along the river until 1860 when they were forcibly removed to an Indian reservation in Yachats whereupon their homes, farms, gardens and villages were destroyed and occupied by U.S. settler-colonists.
The valley of the river has been one of the productive timber regions in Oregon. The lower course of the river passes through Siuslaw National Forest.
The river has historically been a spawning ground for Chinook and coho salmon. The estuary of the river is surrounded by extensive wetlands that are a significant habitat for migratory birds along the coast. It is one of the very few Western Oregon rivers where all major forks are undammed.
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.

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.

Loch Linnhe is a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland. The part upstream of Corran is known in Gaelic as An Linne Dhubh (the black pool, originally known as Loch Abar), and downstream as An Linne Sheileach (the salty pool). The name Linnhe is derived from the Gaelic word linne, meaning 'pool.
Loch Linnhe follows the line of the Great Glen Fault, and is the only sea loch along the fault. About 50 kilometres (30 miles) long, it opens onto the Firth of Lorne at its southwestern end. The part of the loch upstream of Corran is 15 km (9 mi) long and an average of about 2 km (1 mi) wide. The southern part of the loch is wider, and its branch southeast of the island of Lismore is known as the Lynn of Lorne. Loch Eil feeds into Loch Linnhe at the latter's northernmost point, while from the east Loch Leven feeds in the loch just downstream of Corran and Loch Creran feeds into the Lynn of Lorne. The town of Fort William lies at the northeast end of the loch, at the mouth of the River Lochy.

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.
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.

Taken on a gloomy day when there is little sunshine.
The water flowing through the river seems to be very cold.
