Photo by Kort Duce An American bullfrog rests on a rock in St. Vrain Creek in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, a close-up captures the frog with its head emerging from the water in the upper left corner of the frame. Its reflection mirrors back on the surface, while the clear water reveals the large rock beneath it. The foreground is dominated by the dark, nearly black rock, which drops off into the creek bed below.

What a lovely Friday

Most #Creeks spoke dialects of the Muskogean language.

A creek along the slope of a hill is filled with rushing water moving fast enough to make whitewater as it goes over a ledge of rock. The light is a soft gold.

Looking the other way, we no longer see the slope but we can see off to the right water flowing into the main creek from the gully that ended that hill. A more gradual slope is rising to the right. The light is a bit harsher and whiter.

The vagaries of morning light. Two photos take from the same spot, first facing north, the second facing south about 45 seconds later.

Light and water ripples over the various colored rocks in creek bottom make designs and patterns in the creek.

The same effect in a different place in a creek.

I am eagerly awaiting the end (still weeks away) of taking these photos because the trees having leafed out make the creeks flow green.

A black and white photo of a creek that runs through the back of our backyard

Today, let’s sit together by the creek that flows through the back of our home. Close your eyes, relax, and for just a moment, let’s imagine we’re free of any concerns.

The Removal Treaty of 1832 guaranteed the #Creeks political autonomy and perpetual ownership of new homelands in #Indian Territory in return for their cession of remaining tribal lands in the East.

The Removal Treaty of 1832 gave land to #Creeks who chose to emigrate to #Indian Territory in exchange for tribal lands in Alabama

Annual spring floods provided the #Creeks with favorable agricultural conditions. They cultivated a variety of crops and gathered wild fruits, roots, and herbs

James Adair, a trader who dealt with the #Creeks for three decades, described them in 1770 as the most powerful #Indian nation known to the #English

Although the #Creeks were capable of defending themselves against attack, they took the lead in conducting negotiations between the immigrant tribes and the indigenous people to establish peaceful coexistence.

For #Stunday. This beautiful scene was photographed on a trail in #olympicnationalpark. I saw as much of the park as I could in six days. I hiked over 70 miles over those days that went by too fast. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #rivers #creeks ##NationalParks #Nikon #Z8 #Washington

A lovely day to drop Portland frog, No Kings, and love rocks in the park. Rood Bridge is a lovely park to take a stroll at.

most of the Lower #Creeks supported Tecumseh while the Upper #Creeks were rather evenly divided in their allegiance. This division resulted in the Red Stick War, a devastating civil war within the tribe.

After establishing contact with the Europeans, the #Creeks were affected by periodic outbreaks of smallpox, measles, and other imported diseases; the number of fatalities went undocumented

Planting native shrubs along little creek today and came across about a dozen feathers from a northern flicker. That is the circle of life. Doing our part to plant food and cover.

As they settled into their new homeland, the #Creeks discovered that the United States' promises of assistance went largely unfulfilled

According to 1980 statistics, 61 % of #Creeks over the age of 16 were in the labor force

A little offering of tranquility.

Throughout their history, the #Creeks governed themselves democratically. Each town elected a chief who served for life, though he could be recalled

A little nature for you’re morning. Cherry blossoms and a white Heron.

Flit's #MondayMorning Wisdom: The sun is shining, there's no snow, the water's invigorating (isn't that a great euphemism). Just enjoy the day.
