Zander Entry #2 The Stream

Post by Zander »

You have traveled far in the hot and humid sun. You are parched, hoping for something to drink, when you hear the sound of running water. You quickly run to find a small creek, so you carefully climb down the bank. The running water is cold and refreshing and you walk down stream. Almost letting the water carry you along, when you see something stuck among some mud and branches. You walk over to it and notice it's an egg. A very amazing egg with a long tail coming off of it. Maybe you should take it home.

About the photo/area:
This is of a creek in my back yard, well for the most part lol. You see its actually over the highway on the other half of my farm which is only about 120 acres. This creek is the main water source for all the animals in the area. The deer cross the highway every time at the same time (there are a couple different herds) to eat on one side of the highway and drink on the other side. Bald eagles are also a common sight near this creek, mostly because when a poor deer gets hit by a car I take it down to where pets and other animals wont be hit as well. The eagles used to be a rare sight, for a little bit they didn't exist because they were close to endangered, now I see at least 5 at a time when a poor deer is down there. Don't be fooled by how brown the water looks, its actually almost clear. The brown is dirt and sand being washed downstream because of a recent storm. Looking straight down the water looks crystal clear.

My four entries were all taken at the same place and time, mostly due to a lack of time for me to get these shots. Due to the farm being 2 hours away and me working. I planned for there to be fog, but it never showed up again after the day I saw it. And sadly it had cleared by the time I got to the farm that day. Since I was limited to a small area I made it my goal to make this tiny, less than a half a mile, area look as diverse as possible. Many shots were taken looking downstream and upstream only a couple steps away from others.

The little sand bar with some sticks in the foreground, is actually an in-progress beaver dam. Made of mud and cornstalks.
