The “Green River” in Full Color
Here’s another look at Putah Creek, a place so green it’s earned the name “the Green River.” While I’ve captured this creek in different moods, this photograph is a celebration of its vibrant, lush beauty.
What I love about this shot is just how much green is present. The creek bed is alive with color, framed by the dense foliage of the surrounding trees. In the background, the dry hillside provides a subtle, natural contrast that only makes the green in the foreground stand out even more. It’s a testament to the life and energy that flow through this landscape.
This image is a personal favorite, a simple and honest capture of a place that is as beautiful in reality as it is in song. It’s a moment of pure color and tranquility, proving that some scenes are best left exactly as they are.
