It was a cool but nice evening, so a pre-flailing after-dinner walk was indicated.

| Snow is just about gone, but the serpentine creek is still appealing. |
 |
| I'm told this is a trap. I dunno. I walked right through it without any problem. |
 |
| Fast water comin' round the bend. |
 |
| A ripple in the sun. |
 |
| I should put my canoe in just above this stretch. |
 |
| More whoops. Maybe a drysuit and a tube. That's the ticket! |
 |
| Time to move downstream for the finale. |
 |
| A good place to ponder. I pondered what I should ponder. |
 |
| Going... |
 |
| Going... |
 |
| Good night, glowing orb. Good night, cotton candy. Good night, silhouettes. Good night, reflecting puddle. Gone! |
Row row your boat gently down the stream merrily merrily life is a freaking nightmare it's good we have a chance to dream
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful...
DeleteGet a real camera! One with a suitably fast shutter speed!
ReplyDeleteOne more thing. The clothes aren't odd, they're even!
I've been shooting water with a fast shutter speed all winter...it's called "ice." This conveys the flow better. And the clothes are even odder than you think!
DeleteYup - you have captured a radiant, reminiscent Rochester moment!
ReplyDeleteAnd, who knew after living on that crick for so many years that it had a name?!
Wow.

"Fig. 5. Fish distribution and habitat use in Larkin Creek, Monroe County, New York, 1903-1904".
"North Greece (east) Bridge to Ridge, July 20, 1904; Ridge to source, August 5; North Greece (east) Bridge to mouth, August 10.
This stream is seven and one-half miles long, rising just southwest of the intersection of the Parma, Ogden, and Greece town lines. At this point, it is 460 feet above sea level, dropping 214 feet in the seven and one-half miles of its extent, or 28 feet per mile"....
It appears Mr. Larkin was well known in these parts back when the creek was named.
