I love looking at the water. That is a very pretty and a calming space at this time of year. I imagine it is completely different in tourist season. Here we have weeds and just a few ratty green leaves hanging on but mostly plants are brown and done for or in a puddle on the ground, no blooms of any kind. About two weeks ago there was a solitary dandelion near a well deceased flower bed, and a moth came visiting. I didn't have my cell phone handy but it is clear as day in my mind, the way things used to be.
Here the weather is changing drastically, from 60 to snow and back to 60. I don't remember any other year with these late season swings. The lakes iced over and now they are running again. I saw swans sitting in a flooded field for the first. They were in a flooded field due to the high water table from reservoir releases hundreds of miles north by the Army Corps. This was in November in Nebraska. Very unexpected as I was driving into town for fast food!
