Since early childhood, artist Dawn Senior-Trask has loved to explore the draw near her family’s log home, where a little creek flows, fed by mountain snowmelt and a series of springs. Small waterfalls babble over mossy granite outcrops, and in the deeper pools beneath, the colorful brook trout dwell. They feed on the populous larvae of caddis flies, stoneflies, mayflies, dragonflies and other water creatures.

The great blue heron maneuvers her giant wings through the thick cottonwoods, and settles to wade for a trout to take home to her young. At the slightest disturbance the brookies dart into the shadows of overhanging banks, rocks and scouring-rushes. Nevertheless, the osprey who hovers above the creek, watching patiently with sharp eyes, makes his sudden dive and emerges from the current with a 4-inch trout dangling in his talons.

Once, when drought had dried most of the creek, Dawn found a dozen grown trout struggling for breath in a pool. She ran to the cabin for a large bucket, filled it with water, and gently caught the trout, one by one, in her hands. She put them in the bucket and carried them downstream to a larger, spring-fed pool. Here she released them, and watched happily as their gills filled with oxygen and they wriggled into feeding position, heads upstream.
