Poking Around the Upper Concord

A morning job at an ice cube plant finished up in time for me to enjoy some of this afternoon's summer-like temperatures on the Concord River.  There were a few others lucky enough to be out on the river.  One was Jane, who only recently began paddling and commented on the river seeming like another world.

With the continued dry conditions, water was being borrowed from the river by US Fish and Wildlife possibly to sustain the marsh ponds at Great Meadows...

 

 

Significant rain is forecast for tomorrow.

 

Trash recovered today ran the gamut.  There was this odd couple...

 

 

...and this visitor from down south...

 

 

...an old time beer bottle from the early days of "No Deposit, No Return"...

 

 

...and this possible 'bottle of the future'...

 

 

They mingled on the beach...

 

 

It may be a while before we experience warm conditions like we had today.
