Shady Grove October 2023 |
|
| Waded through poison oak while visiting the grove. |
|
| As yet, too early for fall color. |
|
| Submerged leaves a pattern in decay. |
|
| Slow current traps drifting leaves. |
|
| Current picks up, flows faster, oxygenating water. |
|
| Tiny mosquito larvae lean into current foraging for food. |
|
| Water Striders' feet "air cushioned" to stay afloat. These insects prey on mosquito larvae. |
|
| Discovered a couple of Alder saplings had taken root in rock. |
|
| Winter storm flow will dislodge them. |
|
| Creek bed often attracts butterflies. |
|
| Looking forward to autumn colorizing this scene. |
