983. after the rains

the rains came and went

all the turtle perches gone

the smell of creek mud  🦊❤️

The past weekend brought lots and lots of rain. The Wissahickon Creek was flooded big time. The rushing waters cleared out all of the big and small tree trunks and branches that were marooned in the creek from previous flooding. The turtle sun bathing perches and Blue Heron roosts are gone. Future floods will bring more logs and branches. Yesterday the familiar smell of creek mud from my childhood days filled the air.  I stopped and smelled it fully. 🦊❤️
