The Arena Walk

We don't visit the portion of the Riverwalk Trail by the arena often enough, so we made amends on Wednesday. While we often confine ourselves to the main, broad trail, we took a short subsidiary offshoot down to the river which is running very low. Actually, this is a distributary of the river that flows around McArthur island (other bank in photo).

This selfie shows a somewhat similar view but with much better foreground. 😎

I zoomed in on just reflections.

A wonderful thing happened. We heard a large and cacophonous skein of Canada Geese approaching, and then we saw them. I managed to capture a portion of the skein as they passed over the river. Possibly, I should have switched to video to also capture the sound, but I seldom think of  shooting video.

We returned to the main trail, and I eventually took one more photo of a well-lit little Y-shaped branch of young sumac, or at least a Y within a Y with another Y behind. It stood there shimmering at me and demanding to be photographed. What a nerve!
