Excellent!
Mine is the opposite of your's but I was indoors, inside a warm hotel room, enjoying a torrential cold winter rainstorm.

There is something almost jovial to the feeling of this… in that there is a home to run to. Also the beautiful contrast of cold running to warm (home)… and the oneness of the creek with the one also running… you, human, animal… I love the openness and rushing feeling of it all.

Good work, deeply chilling, thought provoking.
Good work. Deeply chilling and also thought provoking.

This is my favorite!
Can hear and see the rapid, gurgling swollen creek, beautifully done.
I found this one quite dark and 'swollen creek' made me think of 'swollen cheek'. Intriguing.
Wonderful- love the sights and sounds in this very moving piece
Very beautiful. It made me think of the Wissahickon Creek, in Phila., where I grew up (Edgar Allen Poe mentions this area in one or two stories).

Thank you all for the interesting and encouraging comments!
