One of my summer retreats, visited early. Deliciously cool!

Now this would be an ideal spot to rest during hot weather. I’d probably spend many hours there. The sounds of the rushing water and the lovely green mossy rocks and branches would be very relaxing.

Luckily, the trail head is only about 5 miles from my home, and then a mile hike up into the canyon and it’s a place that is cool even in the hottest part of summer. Few people go there, too.

This is wonderful to see. “Vital” is the right word, isn’t it? I had a bit of extra time this morning and went looking for Montana snow cover information. Finally, I got to this site, and have tucked it in my bookmarks for future reference. Of course there are a few names on that list I recognize because of hanging around your blog — fun!

I have always revered the small, clean and cold streams coming down from the mountains. Now, with the water problems in California and other places so much in the headlines, I’m even more conscious of how vital they really are, and unfortunately, how little appreciated and understood they are. Even here in Montana the forests are being logged, some to the point where they can no longer provide the vast watershed capability to support streams like this. The business and political pressure (and greed) to “capitalize on our natural resources” is in the process of destroying our most valuable and vital resource of all.

We must think alike. I was doing the same thing yesterday. It was nice to be near rushing water again.

I wish everyone could hear, even for a few hours a week, the sound of water cascading down through a wooded canyon!

Add me to the group: I’ve photographed rushing water in Austin twice in two weeks, most recently this past Monday.

I’ve loved these mountain streams ever since I was very young. Now they are getting more precious with every passing day. I just wish everyone understood that.

I have always been a “nature lover,” but it became more meaningful after spending so much time in the mountains up in Utah…it’s real now. And yes, I wish everyone would understand how precious those streams and the ecosystems around them are, and how fragile they are, as well.

I wonder if the time will ever come when larger numbers of folks will start to understand what this planet is all about. It seems to be going the other way at the moment, and it takes time to understand.

Along with its sister stream a half dozen miles to the west, there are hundreds of cascades like this one just waiting to be seen and appreciated. I’d love to spend an hour at each one.

Now that would be the most refreshing spot on a hot summer day.

When we have those really hot periods, I do retreat into the canyon for a few hours and it feels so good!

I’m glad that they’re still here too, but I’m very afraid for them in the future. Have a great weekend!

Everything pretty much comes down to water, doesn’t it?

It does. Water is what makes life on this planet possible, and yet people consistently abuse it, waste it and defile it, and destroy the great watersheds for profit. What in the world are they thinking?
