Water rushes through a sluice gate, making some really nice sounds and views.
This is the view from a pedestrian bridge over the channel.
Cattails thrive in old marshy sections of the water.
Red-Winged Blackbirds are all over the place, singing loudly.
I looked both ways before taking this photograph. I even felt the track to make sure there was no rumbling or vibrations. Not sure if that works, but I was on and off the track in seconds.
The track stretched both ways.
Spring is in the air and Robins hunted worms.
Swallows build their mud and wattle nests beneath a bridge.
Spiky bits.
More spiky bits. Anyone know what these are?
American Goldfinch. (Not a Yellow Warbler which is in the last set of photos, second last photo... I misnamed it.)
Cedar woods.
White Trillium (Trillium grandiflorum).
Trillium erectum, the Red Wake-robin, also known as red trillium, purple trillium, Beth root or Stinking Benjamin.
White Trillium (Trillium grandiflorum).
White Trillium (Trillium grandiflorum).
Fern.
A bracket fungus.
Big ol' bracket fungus.
Nice ol' bracket fungus.
Polypore bracket fungus (look underneath and you'll see the polypores - i.e. the many holes or pores).
Another Stinking Benjamin. I didn't make note of any smell however.
The Bur or Burl on this cedar was huge - it looked like a big menacing head. Or depending on your mood, it might look like a big delicious chocolate.
