There is something extraordinary about an Eastern Mountain Stream. The swift waters tumble and careen over rounded boulders that have been smoothed after eons of erosion.
The rivulets flow cold and clear, rife with fish and salamanders and other aquatic creatures that depend on the continuous flow of sustenance. Plants thrive in the luxuriant and moist environment of the stream bed and animal are attracted to both drinking water and plentiful fodder in stream locales.
Although these photos capture some of the visual beauty of the mountain stream, they are a poor substitute for the actual sight of the splashing, dancing torrents sparkling in dappled sunlight. Nor can they convey the fresh organic perfume of the river valley, or the cacophony of sounds generated by the splashing and crashing of liquid over stone!
And although a photo of water cannot refresh the body, it can certainly rejuvenate the spirit!

Richard,
Thanks for sharing this beautiful and calming photographs....hope all is well with you and yours....
I always like your stream pictures, eventually I am going to learn how to take a good picture myself.
WOW! Cool Photos. Thank you for sharing. :-)
Julie...
You're welcome ...we had a little hail damage tonight, but we're all fine! Thanks for asking!
JL...
Thanks my friend, it just takes a little practice!
Sharon...
You are most welcome!!!
Ahhh Richard this is what I've missed. A beautifully written post with some gorgeous pictures. For a moment I felt like I was there. Thank you!
I really don't know how you do it, I'm just glad you do....Don
Outstanding photos! Some of them are breathtaking. Take care and happy blogging!
Richard, the Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas areas have some of the best streams in the country. You captured the essence with these terrific photos.
Those pictures were wonderful, it makes me want to go to the mountains!
Richard, great photos. I love the sounds of a small mountain stream in spring. I could actually hear those sounds viewing your pix, thank you!
Great shots Richard. I can hear the mountain stream in my head. Right now I hear the kids rushing to get out the door in reality. Wish I was at the stream!
Hi Richard:
Nice photos, as always....I'm sure you used a tripod for these...
Richard, I've never questioned your photography abilities, but HOLY WOW! These pictures are amazing? I thought I had some cool stream/waterfall pictures, but now I'll be embarassed to ever use them!
Thanks for sharing them!
I can hear the splashing. Thanks for the description.
Richard - first, let me say great photos. Second, I don't think I could chose between eastern and western mountain streams. The eastern streams show their age, but are still vital. The western streams, with the jagged rocks and crystal water are younger, racing straighter, not having learned to meander with the terrain. I love them both.
Richard...I look at the photo's and I think you have much better equiptment than I do! With me you can't go wrong with Nature!
Richard, absolutely gorgeous photography! Were you at f22 or there abouts? Or higher?
Debi
Richard, thank you for sharing these beautiful photos of nature at its finest!
