Brook, a small flow of water one can step over.
: : :
A very small brook
rushes past a Broad Leaf Maple tree’s roots
and over stones tumbled smooth to empty into the Raging River.
: : :
Several months ago,
while researching for a post,
I learned that creeks have a seasonal or intermittent flow
and streams have a year round or constant flow of water.
: : :
Today,
I found this interesting definition of terms:
You can step across a brook,
jump across a creek,
wade across a stream,
and
swim across a river.
: : :
I thought that was an interesting set of distinctions.
Using those terms,
this could either be a brook or a small creek,
what ever it is,
it is a vision of peacefulness.

I love the lush,
rich deep greens of spring,
don’t you?

Love those definitions, Madge. And your photo, of course.
Beautiful….I can almost hear the faint trickle of the brook and smell the sweet scent of the musty blanket of ground cover along the banks!!
Yes, indeed peaceful. Lovely shot, Madge.
Lovely hazy water and bright green foliage. So relaxing!
Loving the bright spring greens!
This is lovely! It has a very Zen feel to it.
In my area what we call a creek would often be too wide to jump across. :)
Beautiful shot, Madge. The green is very rich in color and I like the water flow you captured.
It’s a beautiful little brook.
Beautiful shot. I love the colors and textures.
Thank you so much for your informative and interesting report on the names of water flowing. I will try to remember that. I love them all! To me, heaven is a burbling creek (brook?) in dappled shade.
Lovely, Madge. I’ve gone all mossy too, this week.
Thanks for hosting, Madge.
So lush and green. A nice place to be:)
Oh I do indeed love all those lush colors! We are really getting some color now. And some rain too. I look forward to my deep greens. :)

looks like you found a lovely spot!!
As always, Madge, “picture perfect”!! And thanks to you and your words, we have a brook and a creek on our property…:)JP
I love every detail of this photo Madge! Beautiful!
How beautiful, Madge! It is peaceful, and I love your linguistic distinctions.
