Beginning the River

With last night's rain, the river thickend up again, growing browner as the day progressed.  On the surface, tiny white flower petals flowed, sharp against the earthy water.

Today, we drove along the road through Barnard Gulf, which crosses from the White River to the Ottauquechee watershed.  Gulf Stream, an Ottauquechee tributary, begins here.  I took the picture below of one of the many headwaters which form the roots of this river and the great Connecticut.
