dolllady aka Pam says:Living near a creek was so soothing at nights. Water running over stones was very soothing. We lived in the same house two different times. The creek and the railroad tracks were great pastimes for my brother and me. Your pick reminds me of those years.

Melody F says:Your pick does evoke pebbles in a stream. I live a short block from Mill Creek, which to an ex inhabitant of Southern California is more like a river than a creek. It flooded my whole street in 1996. I can stand on a bridge over it, or sit in a tiny park next to it, but I can’t walk along it, as it winds behind private city houses. There is a long walk next to the Willamette River, which I used to take before I injured myself several years ago. Right now the pain I have when I walk is excruciating. I’m fine if I don’t move. Anyway, I like your pick a lot.

Granny Nancy says:Thanks for your comments. I’m not all that happy with it but I’d been thinking about all the walks I’ve taken. I even have a picture of when I was 4 sitting in a shallow spot with my mother holding my infant brother so she could dangle his toes in the water. That brother now has cancer and is in Hospice care. (sigh)

Chali-o says:Congrats on your POD! We had a creek behind our childhood home and it was an excellent place for solitude. I miss the old homestead.
