This week's theme: Creeks and Streams

If you're a kid, having a creek close to where you live is like winning the lottery. Rocks to climb over and turn over, sticks to poke things with, dams to build, insects, all kinds of animals, mud - what more can any nine year old ask for? As grown-ups may not think as much about the magic of slippery banks, water falls, small, still pools created by a build up of rocks, sticks and other things floating down stream, but when we find ourselves in the presence of such wonders we discover that nine really isn't that far away.
