a continuation...

 this is more from the previous post. i could not figure out how to put more fotos in the previous post so i decided  to add this second post.

 more of the drainage ditches in the flood plains.

 the drainage ditches empty into this canal that runs from fenway landing to just south of the lock and dam where it empties into miss river.

 heading back to my bike and the ride home.

sunday morning

 on my bike ride north of town yesterday morning i got to wondering what was at the end of this little side road. the lane had been graded and led to and over the rr tracks. this morning i tossed my camera in my back pack and headed north to explore.

 on the other side of the tracks the graded lane continued.

 i left my bike at the gate and set out on foot.

 these fields have been under water for most of the summer. it has been just in the last few weeks that the water has gone down and left this wonderful area to explore.

 there are a few drainage ditches that still held water. birds, and frogs, were everywhere.

durgens creek

 this was taken from the NW corner of the land looking south. i stood in the back of the truck to take this shot. the tall tree in the middle is the sycamore.

 taken from the same spot but looking to the east. you should be able to make out the metal roof on dan's barn in the top left of the foto.

 from the south end of the open area looking north towards the lane.

 sycamore!

 this is the area that stays wet. looking north. the open area is past the trees at the top of the foto.

 a larger sycamore. don't know if it is on the property or on dan's land. guess it does not matter. close enough to enjoy.

 the stream that runs the length of the east side.

a young sycamore that is close to the top of the wet area. did not know it was there until yesterday. nice surprise.
