October Road

Although I can still see the lake when I look across the newly planted bottomland forest from Clark Road, some day the Oaks, Pecans, and Sycamores will block the view.

Several small snakes didn't make it across the road in their attempt to get up the bluff from the grassland.

Few flowers bloomed.

Dragonflies were still abundant, and slower than they were in the hot months of summer, more likely to land.

Bumble Bees still buzzed about.

Katydids and spiders.

All to be found along Clark Road in October.
