They fasten red (crimson red) wool around a hook, and fix onto the wool two feathers which grow under a cock’s wattles, and which in colour are like wax.

Posts: 398		Nice shots.. Are they on Walnut, John? They look that way to me.

On Walnut, down on the fist significant bend below the bridge on Old Sterrettania Rd, there's a small trib that comes in from the WSW (I think, anyhow left bank as you face downstream..) and falls off a 6 0r 7 foot high shale ledge. Some of the most beautiful winter pics I've taken in the entire watershed were there. This was many years ago, when I was living on the ancestral homestead in the area.

At the time (this was in the 70's and 80's), Walnut Creek was a "Second Tier" (moderate priority) candidate for State Scenic River designation.
30 years later with a casino on the headwaters and pretty much the entire watershed above PA 832 developed, I would imagine its no longer a candidate for this designation. But in its day (and still now, in a scattering of places..) it and much of Elk as well really were pretty places, unique in Pennsylvania..

Nice pics!
