Thru the trees a heap of refuse.

Here was Alder Creek, possibly one of the most beloved creeks of the entire Maple River drainage basin.

A POWERLINE RIGHT-OF-WAY was the setting for Alder Creek this pretty spring day.

Side View

See a mountain of scrapmetal at a riverside junkyard on a sunny morning one spring.

"Loom o'er us fore'er great gray walls of dairy plants we pray," we chant.

Here was a portion of the cowmilk dairy plant for which the city of Ovid, Michigan, is best known.

This fine May 14th the Maple River in central Michigan was looking as pretty as or prettier than it had ever looked at any time in the 20th century, or the 21st century theretofore.

The Maple River in central Michigan is shown "doing its business" of moving water from areas of higher elevation to areas of lower elevation.

It was the spring of '22 and here I was still out here looking at the sumac infructescences from the fall of '21.

It was the middle of May and a springtime was occurring in central Michigan.
