  • River grass

    The varieties of river grass look different, depending on light, currents, the water levels and the seasons. The past few years I haven’t tired of watching the grass.

  • Painted turtle

    This turtle, at least I think it’s this turtle, spent summer afternoons lying in the water floating on the river.

  • Snapper

    Getting a good look from a snapping turtle in the river. Painted turtles were not as plentiful this summer. Last year there were at least a dozen on an island near the river bank which disappeared this year.

  • Last days

    A weedy sunflower, fading away in the high grass beside the river. Thanks are owed to some passing bird.

  • Old factory wall

    The ruins of an old factory on the mill river, still visible. The area also had a fish ladder which was very active for decades.
