Stream Name: Tributary of Allatoona Creek
Location: Cobb County, GA
I am constantly astonished at the diversity of form and fluctuation of fluvial processes within each waterway I visit. Even the same stream, like the one in this story, which I visit nearly daily, reveals new faces, flow patterns, substrate changes, sounds, and reflections. I am either greeted with times of abundant lifeforms and times of lifelessness, but always a reason for pause.
The surrounding vegetation is what gives this stream its color and mood. It doesn’t matter how much water is flowing, it’s the riparian area that sets the tone.
