Rill

rilly rill

Taken at the Oregon coast last July.
Just now I was thinking it looked like a rill. So I looked up rill to see if it fit.

From the OED:

rill, n.1
1. a. A small stream; a brook, runnel, rivulet; spec. A small trickle of water formed temporarily in soil or sand after rain or tidal ebb.

But exactly!

    i love this picture.
    i love how blue the rocks are.
    whenever i bring rocks home from a beach i try to bring a little bit of sand, too. the colors show up so much better in contrast to their natural environment… a purple rock on long beach is just flat gray in my living room.

    rill.

    nice soft word.

    :o)
