Creek is a funny word but that is what has always been used for this one. The Oamaru Creek. I was down in the historic area on my bike collected the box of fudge that I had bought for a Xmas present. I did find they had lots of tiny pieces of different fudges to try and really enjoyed that experience.
This was on the way back home, the sun was shining, the birds singing, the flowers blooming - life was good! Still is!
Three good things:
1. Two lovely yellow roses from our garden for my ailing brother-in-law in hospital
2. I do love kidneys on toast.
3. Mr Blythe was singing his heart out in our garden.
This looks so lush, with clear water. The staging looks a good place to fish from. It was frosty and cold this morning but lovely sun while we were walking.
I think creek is a very NZ word, we don't use it much but Anthony has a creek through his new farm & a week today they are putting a bridge over it big enough to have a cattle truck & to take house building stuff. This is a very beautiful creek....it looks full of wild life & birds. A brilliant ride on your bike past here with your tummy full of fudge!
wonderful scenery you captured here, maggiemae. and beautifully reflected on the water, too! the colours say "summer"! oh to be in hot weather during Christmas, i still remember how it was.
That's right, gloat about your lovely weather while I'm listening to the wind howl and shriek as a cold front arrives. :) Oh well, at least I get to see this lovely summery picture.
@maggiemae We have all three- and depending on width, length and depth, the different terms will be applied accordingly. Rivers are the widest and deepest (and usually the longest); Streams- medium depth and width; and creeks the most shallow and least depth. There are a few exceptions- like the Bushkill (the one I cross over) as it is called a creek but is more like a stream. It is ranked as one of the best fly-fishing creeks in PA. I've posted pictures of it a couple times.
