Photographing these mountain streams is a wonderful stress reliever. I have a whole collection of 'Pebbles' and they never fail to inspire a delight for me. Breathe deep and enjoy! Thanks for looking.

Canon T1i
1/400sec f/9.0 300mm (I think.)

Neat interplay of light and color. The luminosity of the scene is nicely brought out.

I can relate to the relaxing effect you describe. Photography almost always does this for me, no matter the subject matter, but crystal clear water and colors are a delight of course. I like how this works as an abstract. I only find the bottom part a bit distracting because of the blur.

Very cool natural abstract Nancy, makes me want to splash my face with that clear, cool water!

I'm not sure I agree with Didi, but one more stop might have gotten it all in focus. Worth thinking about for the next time.

Again, the light patterns and colors make for another fine abstract. And, I agree that watching these streams is mesmerizing.
