It's popular with the migrating birds, we saw geese fly over, the rest of these photos are from the summer. This, below right, is the dam as it was several years ago. Note the big snapping turtle basking!

Motts Mills Dam
We were wrestling with decisions around our cat, Dorah. Feline Celebration of Life We decided on a drive. I like Motts Mills dam. It's been refurbished to allow the ecosystem to flourish. Our heavy October rains have kept it filled, as much as in summer. You can compare the stream with photos below from summer!

Hello, pretty views and great sighting of the ducks. I am not ready for the cold freezing weather. We are having rain today, it is chilly here.
Enjoy your day and new week!
Great photos and neat place to explore
Nature will work its own way into helping you heal. Lovely shots, there is always something peaceful and almost magical about water, still, running,or overflowing. Hugs.XXX
There is something about these old mills and dams that combine history, nostalgia and wildlife beauty... We have several nearby south of us in Iowa...:)
One would want to give that snapper a wide berth.
That's a big turtle and a muscular tail. We've had lots of rain this week but the lake doesn't seem to be rising. We found the answer this morning when we got to town. Two of the gates at the dam are wide open letting the water out. They've must still be working and don't want the water to get up to the level of the gates. - Margy
November is pretty bleak, especially in the country, and guess where we're heading next week?
