I shouldn't be complaining about our wet weather here in California -- after all, a lot of you are still probably buried in nasty snow. And no justifiable reason to complain about a little California rain when photographers (((and dedicated goof-offs like me))) can use the opportunity to point our cameras at dramatic creeks, like Occasional Creek shown here, gushing and spewing water...

If this creek has a name I don't know it, so I've given it the name I often give unnamed and unknown creeks -- Occasional Creek. Occasional Creek flows -- when it is actually flowing -- into Alpine Lake on the northeast flank of Mount Tamalpais. Occasional Creek is chugging away now, but by July it will have slowed to a drip.

This one is pretty much completely au naturale...
