Ducks in Spring Hollow Run
On some maps, this creek is called Hollow Run, but I have heard it called Spring Hollow Run and that is what the US Geological Survey calls it. I find the name intriguing because there are three geographic features in the name: Spring (the source), hollow (a small valley), and run (a creek).

Its a nice name! And I think that if Mallards were rare, people would travel miles to see them! Hope all is well, Stewart M - Melbourne

ReplyDeleteCute ducks and a pretty scene. Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteMallards on a stream are as tranquil a scene as one might imagine. Were I an artist I would take up my brush immediately.
ReplyDelete...just ducky!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picturesque site!
ReplyDeleteA run is a term not used here in that context, though I'm familiar with it through history, ie Bull Run.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I defined the terms run and hollow is because they are not widely used in this context.
DeleteA lovely, lovely mood in your post.
ReplyDeleteThe holidays are finally over. Now we're looking at the turn of the year. What will the new year 2024 bring us?
