The floodplain of Swan Creek was an ideal spread for these downed trees this spring day.

Here was the brownish-green or greenish-brown or olive green water of Swan Creek, with deposits of some kind of milky white substance near its banks.

In suburban Toledo we had Ai Creek, famous for its two-letter vowel-vowel name, and for its extraordinary beauty.

Swan Creek pushes itself through sand, which was deposited along the edges of a proglacial lacustrine predecessor of Lake Erie at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation. April sun occurs.

Here was Swan Creek, adhering closely to my personal idealizations of creeks in Ohio.

Before we leave a Approach comes into view
