jhetleyScraps of squirrel, one garter snake (probably caught trying to warm up on the pavement), a hundred or so woolly-bear caterpillars. ' Tis the season.
Temperature got up to maybe 50 F so I added a fleece jacket to my normal cycle attire and headed out across the bridge and upriver. More breeze than I felt necessary, but brisk wood-smoke tinged fall air, and assorted flowers. Including some violets that have decided to make another run at spring. Not-roadkill, one immature bald eagle soaring and circling upwind and soaring again above the upriver bridge back across, where I'd stopped for a water break and to admire the view over the water. Speaking of water, there was a lot of it. Islands upriver of the bridge under water, like spring runoff conditions, and rainbows of spray coming over the dam . . .
