I love the creek. I like the sound of it. I like to look at it. I like to watch it (and the fish in it).





And I protect it from man and harmful un-natural elements as much as I am able.

Below is a portion of the evergreens I have planted. When we bought this place, there were four evergreens.... two old spruce and two young cedars. I have planted cedars, spuce, hemlock, and fir, all to enhance shade protection and bank stabilization.



So I wander down to the creek today to check out the fry (there are lots of them ) and this is what I find........



A FREAKING TIRE!!

Apparently one of my upstream neighbors or neighbors' kids really could give a crap less!! I'll have to pull out their tire and dispose of it out of my pocket, I guess......aarrgghhhh
