Nice, Michael. The pictures where you've used a slower shutter speed to blur the water are really attention getters. Are you using a digital camera? I haven't found one yet that allows you to manually pick shutter speeds and f stops. My 35mm SLR bit the dust, so I'm using a Kodak 2 megapixel digital at the moment.
there are tons of digital camera's that let you use manual settings, even my cannon S30 which was can$700 two years ago has full manual. you're going to need to spend a little more money if you want features, but there definitely are digital, point and shoot styles that still have manual controls
Oh, I can almost guarantee fish in that creek. For what creek in Washington would be caught dead without fish in it? Beautiful movement around the rock Mike:-)
