Or, the tree sisters marry the rock brothers, and they all live happily ever after in Zarkyland. The end.

...and a stream. Really beautiful image, great colors and very original. Where is this at?

And a duck, don't forget the duck...

Thanks, Gale. This is another from Mill Creek, and it's about where the creek starts to get really interesting.

Oh man, I forgot the duck. The duck ate a magic bean and grew golden feathers, and a giant taught her to fly away home to Zarkyland. And then they all lived happily ever after. The end.

Very nice. Your composition makes we want to know just how big those boulders are. Love the colors. Good job Randy!

Love this comp. The arching limb seems to go back a long way leading the eye to the distant bank. And you all need to lay off the wine!

I don't see a duck (maybe that's my problem!), but the rocks, trees, stream, moss, grass and lichen are pretty nice.

Hey Randy, a very nice shot, rocks, trees, stream and whatever else others see. Is this the same Mill Creek that runs near Fern?

The duck was there when I first looked at it, but it is gone now! It was right over there next to the snake...

Surely you must be consuming some of Dominic's mushrooms! :biggrin:

I think I see it. Wait no it's just a frog.

That's some beautiful water and light, Randy, with lots of nice details in the foreground to explore.

Not seeing the duck, or snake. I think Tim needs to forget all that allergy crap the doctor's been feeding him, and go back to drinkin'...it's messing with his vision. Last week it was King Kong, this week a duck and snake - the condition seems to be getting worse.

A duck, snake, King Kong or whatever ... Zarkyland is looking mighty good. A refreshing and unique comp Randy. Really nice work!

Tom, this is the Mill Creek that runs into Hurricane Creek just a little south of Deer. It's actually in the Hurricane Creek Wilderness Area.
