MPC #149: Rivers 4/6-5/2

[geomorph]

I like rivers. Big rivers, small mountain rivers, even tiny little rivers that have been channelized and put underground in cities. April is a good time for rivers, as it is often at the time when snow starts to melt, and things start to rise. Some may be flooding and some might still be covered in snow. The river can be the focus or just an element of the composition. There's a river nearby everyone, so this should be accessible to all. Not that you need it but here's a couple of my shots to provide some inspiration.

No local rivers, but there is a creek.

Creek, brook, wash, arroyo, kill, fork or whatever you want to call it, as long as it has two banks a bed and some water it is OK by me.

Vermont's are flowing nicely.

Bump. A week to go and only 3 entries. I know that you all don't live in deserts.

Robe Canyon, South Fork of the Stillaguamish, WA

This rapid is called "Conversation", the river turns the corner and heads into this incredible canyon.


"Hotel California"


Sometimes you have to stop, and take time to soak it all in. Beer is optional

Finally went fishing in Montana

Scenic sunset on the Bitterroot from the takeout near Hamilton.



The magnificent Mo' below Craig. My dream home on the right. Big fish live here but they are finicky



The Beaverhead near Dillon. Fantastic fishing river! I got about 10 trout in the sweep of this picture.
