Sun and Shade on the Sudbury

 

Got an early morning start yesterday on the Sudbury River in Wayland, MA.  There was plenty of water as a result of Tuesday's rainfall.  Wildlife seen were this white-tailed deer...


 This pair of osprey...


This healthy looking and curious coyote had found a shady spot to wile away the day...



Made it up to Stone's Bridge...

...where the river gets shallow.  It's said to be the spot where General Knox and his "Train of Artillery" crossed the river on their way to break the siege of Boston in early 1776...


The trip back downriver was under bright blue skies and saw temperatures rising through the 80's F...



Noticed what I believe to be Joe Pye Weed was now in blossom...

Tuesday's rain had apparently set some trash in motion moving it further downriver...
... and included a dozen "nip" bottles.  This brings my 2026 year to date "nips" total to 1250.  Last year at this time the count was 1062.
