Lovely insight into some of our land @mountainjewel. I can see why you love it.
This surprised me:
This waterway has changed drastically in the 3 years we have lived here.
I wonder if it will return to where it was or whether it will keep moving in one direction.
The beaches here change dramatically every winter. But the council brings in a bulldozer every spring to return the pebbles to the beach that have landed on the prom, or move them along to other beaches to even them out a bit.
I love seeing how much each beach changes. 😊
I suppose the water is an ever shifting mosaic, working in cycles larger than I can perceive. I don't think it will ever never be the same again. Perhaps that's the biggest lesson water offers.
I think what you mention is something similar they do here. Moving the gravel with machines each year. Then water shifts and they do it again. Humans can be so funny sometime soon in search of domesticating wild landscapes.
