Stream. DSCN3535, with story

Cruising down the highway, no traffic, my gaze hither and yon (that's a real phrase).

But on the driver's side a beautiful stark tree stood out from the forest.  I stopped, turned around and went out to capture the image.  As there was a light drizzle coming down, I took out my all weather camera and went exploring for a good angle.  The problem was there were these power lines bisecting the limbs, so I went closer to get under them. The ground was quite wet from recent storms, and the passage was slippery and difficult as I tried to avoid hidden cavities while carrying the camera and monopod.  I had to finally cross a small stream to get into position, but I was now too low of an angle to get what I wanted, and turned back to the road.  This is when I discovered how nice the small shallow stream looked and took this image, as the water rushed past some rocks.

I had discovered what I had not sought to find.  Lucked out again.

Feel free to download, just give me photo credit.

  Of course I still took the photo, but the lines ruined it for me.  It seems it looked better from the height of the road.
