Wetlands Stream

There's a wetlands not too far from our home. This stream is part of it. I love to stand and just listen to the gurgling water.

Oh yeah, that's wonderful! I'd be dragging my chair down there and sitting for hours reading a book :)

Thats where, when my daughter was five or so, I fell face-first into the water, trying to retreive her rubber duck. It's funny now....

A chair or bench would be nice. Sometimes I'll walk down there, sit on the guardrail and just listen.The stream runs down from the wetlands (you can occasionally see geese there, and once in a while, an egret), under a concrete bridge (where I was when I took the movie), and down through a thicket into ... well, I'm not actually sure; in the next half mile, it disappears. Originally, there were going to be houses there (a development did go in, but about half a mile away); after a bit of a legal tussle, this was the result.
