December 2012.
Often in December it seems like it’s still summer, then its Christmas. This year its FALL on Joe’s Creek, subtle in some places, in technicolor in others. In addition to the familiar red oaks and yellow elms, and some new green cedars getting established, visitors to the creek this week can still see the aptly named flame sumac, and various shrubs and trees with purple as well as bright red berries. It should be a good crop for the avian visitors too. And in spite of the drought, some water is flowing in the upper reaches of the creek.
Walk your dog, meet your friends, or just walk Joe’s Creek this week. Below are some of the vistas you will see:
