Frozen Creek, Dawn
This is an interpretive / impressionist sketch. I may have adjusted the colors a bit much in Lightroom. I did this at 6:30 a.m., barely awake, and without any light except what broke through yonder window. Same with the scan. I’ll check it out later today, when I am at work or something. Interesting to see the white spots in the scan I cannot see in my gloomy room . . . .
Edge
In the last 24 hours we got 4 inches / 10 cm rain. This was taken last Saturday. I should get out today to see how the same creek is looking . . . we actually had to pump out the back yard with a submersible pump and hose as the water was creeping over the patio. Terra Firma in our neck of the world has a lot of clay, and the result is poor drainage, made even poorer, in our case, by too many impervious walls. Overall, we are fine, but when a storm like the ones we are having hits, flooding and catastrophe follow.
The Grace of Leaves
There is a small causeway crossing the creek, and over it hang the leaves of a willow.

Tumbled
As with many seasonal creeks, the height of water comes and goes, depending on the rainfall. To prevent erosion, boulders have been dropped alongside the creek, which helps keep overflow contained as the stream wends its way to Paradise Falls a few miles away.
Again, the Nikon Df with the Vivitar Series 1 135mm f2.3 lens.
