Mill Stream

Time: 1612-1630

Date: 6 November 2008

Climate: very overcast, lightly raining

Location: Sitting with back to sparks looking at the Mill Stream with a little bridge to my left

As I sit here on a tree stump I notice a Maple tree that spreads over the bridge and lots of plants around me and I do not know what kind they are.  There are some ferns that I see across from me.  The Mill Stream has looked so bad lately because of the terribly low water level.  It is starting to look very dirty and gross.  There looks to be fungus and moss at the bottom that makes me not want to look at it.  I wish they would allow water into it because it is not very pleasant to look at and it usually is.  It makes me wonder if the ducks are unhappy with its current state.  The ducks inhabit the stream especially at night and I wonder if the low water level affects them.  The water is still moving rather quickly here but there is not much water to rush.  It is usually moving much faster
