There's nothing particularly special about this photo, except that it's from the creek a short walk behind my home 😊

I love my little corner of the world 💚🤍💙

I cross this small creek on my lunch walks, but I don't think I've ever seen it quite this active. About a foot higher than normal (usually it's a slow 6-inch brook) and looking VERY lively.
