Directly overhead, branching dark tidal channels score a warm stone mudflat like charcoal strokes, one single unbroken channel running to the feet of a distant walker whose fresh gleaming footprint trail joins the system as its newest tributary.

Tide Channels Drawing a Line to Walker

Water splits into several braided channels across a broad gravel flat on a valley floor with pale threads rejoining and parting among grey gravel bars and a drystone wall along the far side in flat midday light.

Braided Channels Split and Rejoin Across Gravel

A stream makes a sharp bend on a mid-slope cutting into a grass bank on the outside of the curve and exposing pale roots with a gravel bar building on the inside in soft morning side light.

The Stream Bends and Cuts Into a Grass Bank

Clear water threads between rounded grey stones in a shallow upper streambed with grass banks on both sides and a drystone wall crossing the hillside beyond in bright diffuse light.

A thawing puddle edge with a fringe of clear ice opens into a channel of running water through dead grass with new green blades pushing up at the bank in low winter sun.

The dried curve of an old meander lies across a valley floor as a pale grass-filled scar with a stony gravel bed while the living stream winds narrow along a drystone wall beside it in raking late light.

An Abandoned Meander Scar Beside the Living Stream

A cracked grey rock shelf meets a pale rippled sand dune along a diagonal line, painted as long undulating colour bands in raking dawn light.

Rock Shelf and Rippled Sand Dune in Contour Painting

A river seen from above in blue paper pulp winding through green and ochre pulp fields, one cream pulp bridge at the middle bend, a dark green tree line on the left bank.

One Blue River Winds Through Pressed Pulp Fields

A pale gravel bar splits the canyon river into two channels that rejoin beyond it below plain rock walls in bright morning light.

A Gravel Bar Splits the Current

A smaller tributary stream joins the main canyon river at a clear angled confluence between rock banks in even afternoon light.

A Tributary Joins at an Angle

The canyon walls open out at the canyon mouth in warm evening light where the river channel runs on into a wide flat valley.

The Canyon Opens at Its Mouth

A broad river meanders in one wide bend against high layered canyon walls in clear midday light, seen from the opposite bank slightly above.

A Broad Meander Bends Against High Walls

A mayfly nymph with three streaming tail filaments clings flat to a smooth riffle stone in fast shallow current over a pebbled bed in raking afternoon light.

A Mayfly Nymph Clings to a Fast Riffle Stone

A narrow river runs through a tight slot between smooth high canyon walls that nearly meet overhead, seen from within the slot at water level in soft reflected light.

A Narrow Slot Squeezes the River

A watercolor cross-section of a reed bed: reeds and still water above, a gravel layer packed with pale branching roots, a band of stones, and a dark buried drain pipe whose outlet pours into a ditch at the right.

Reed Bed Roots Filter Water Above a Buried Drain

A fine-sediment delta fan spreads in pale lobes into a still lake where a stream arrives with shallow golden water over the fan, reeds at the edges and soft valley slopes behind in low warm evening light.

A Sediment Fan Spreads Into the Still Lake

A quilted map of a river town seen from above has an appliqued blue river, stitched roads, fabric houses, a bridge, a round park and a church in faded red, indigo and moss.

A pair of fish hold side by side close above a shallow pit cleared in clean pale gravel in a clear shallow stream with sunlit ripples moving over the stones in bright even spring light.

A Fish Pair Holds Over the Gravel in Spring

A miniature woodland stream with a trail of tiny blue silk threads caught on twigs and stones leads across stepping stones toward a distant hill with a stone tower while a very small traveller in a green cloak follows, thick palette-knife daubs forming water, moss and sky.

Blue Silk Threads Lead Across the Stream Stones

The river runs close under an undercut bank beneath a broad rock overhang in soft even light, the water dark in the overhang shadow.

Undercut Bank Beneath the Overhang

A wide flat capstone worn smooth sits in a long dry stone wall beside a hillside path with moss and lichen on the stones and a sweeping valley view behind in warm golden light.

A Worn Capstone Seat on a Dry Stone Wall

On a flat stone at a stream bank in soft side light three small rock samples, a grey pebble, a rust-coloured stone and a pale quartz chip, lie in a row on a folded cloth beside a plastic ruler and a jar of stream water with a hand lens on top of a closed field notebook and the stream blurred behind, no people.

Three Rock Samples Laid Out Beside the Stream

A dry stepped orange canyon wall drops to a greener riverbank of reeds and willows beside a slow river, painted in separate patches in late golden light.

Dry Canyon Step Above Green Riverbank in Color Patches

A small rounded stone arch bridge crosses a teal stream beside a village of terracotta-roofed cottages with a willow and a pink bush in cut felt.

Stone Arch Bridge Beside a Village in Felt

A stream sheets over a single rock lip in a small cascade with white water falling into a plunge pool among dark wet boulders and ferns on the banks in brisk backlight.

A Small Cascade Sheets Over One Rock Lip

A small arched stone footbridge crosses a clear stream with a wide flat parapet worn smooth along one side, damp moss on the stones and ferns at the water edge in soft light after rain.

A Footbridge Parapet Makes a Seat Over the Stream

A calm glassy pool lies below a cascade with a quiet smooth outflow slipping from its lower edge into the next reach with reflected sky and overhanging hawthorn branches in still grey light.

A narrow lower band of Southwestern mesas in terracotta and teal with saguaros and a thin road sits beneath a huge empty aged cream sky in a vintage travel poster style header.

Miniature scene of going with the flow: a small wooden rowboat with oars resting unused inside drifts bow-first along a visible current that curves around a grey boulder, amber leaves tracing the same bend, adapting to the direction circumstances are taking.

A ring of dark splash marks and damp patches on otherwise dust-dry ground circles a lone field tree where rain dripped from the leaf edges with the drip circle patterned in the soil in warm afternoon light.

In bright midday light a grey heron lifts one long leg to step carefully over the low stone lip of a weir between two sections of a river with its neck in a tight S and its eye on the water as the water spills in a glassy sheet over the weir.
