Spring Runoff

The streams of New England are perhaps its best natural features, especially when in spring spate. Apple Valley Brook, Smith Brook are two, very nearby examples. Apple Valley Brook goes largely unnoticed because there is a road along side it and so people just drive past without noticing its two miles of small but beautiful cascades. If the road were a foot trail the brook would be much better known. Smith Brook drains a small reservoir, which is till frozen over right now. It crosses Hawley Road, heads steeply downstream and then passes a few lonely trails so it is still relatively unknown except to those who live very close to it. I took a few pictures but they were not very good. I'll try to get better ones posted while they are still running with spring melt water. Where is Julia Verbrugge when I need her?
