Children Drawn to the Creek

My cousin’s daughter married yesterday in a meadow along Spokane Creek in the easternmost section of the Prickly Pear (sometimes called Helena) Valley.  The creek is accompanied by tall cottonwood trees and tall grasses.  Light plays and dances there. 

Creeks have a way of drawing in children and one particular Mitchell Hegman.  I have posted photographic evidence of this.
