Winter Creek
Finalist
This can't really be called a creek, even, except when it rains hard. It runs through a local park and empties into Papillion Creek which shares its name with the town where I live.

  A winter scene is not one immediately thinks of in sepia and with texture, but that's one big reason that this is quite effective, Nikki. When I grew up in Papillion, we always called the creek the Papio (oh, got some childhood stories about that creek), and I've even seen it that way on maps, so I've never been sure of its actual name.
