In the Flow

This weekend I spent both Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon at Mill Creek. There are many branches of said creek and many places to get down to it. This area was right by one of the high schools and there are apartments on the other side. On Saturday morning, the sun was out and the residents were mostly still sleeping. On Sunday, they were all aware enjoying the rainy weather. It wasn't quite as peaceful or quiet. I have to admit that this is probably my favorite spot in Salem now.

The leaves are starting to change, have fallen in to the water, and have been caught by the rocks. In one place the leaves created a small dam that the water piled up behind and then flowed over the leaves instead of washing them downstream. This is definitely a place to return to in the future.
