9/10/2023, water R, 81v-dr, 9:40-11:30
Wind: 5mph from N
OC: 7+/8
Cool, cloudy, breezy morning
Subtle yellows and oranges beginning to emerge in lining trees
Gentle blanket of cricket sounds surround
Sandbar across 3 could become an island within weeks
4SE almost too shallow to traverse
Visible animal prints, bird prints and freshwater oyster trails left in the shallow, silty waters
Channel beneath 1/2 bridge now must be walked
Cormorants still holding court on designated perches in 1N
Turtles lift up and float about leisurely
Silvery opaque surface of the water reflecting clouded sky
Killdeer chat away in newly exposed 1E banks
No sun for basking today, no turtles lining branches or rocks
Cicadas quiet; now cricket and grasshopper sounds fill the space
Season is changing in this peaceful and glorious place
