After shopping and lunch out, I took advantage of the sunny day and went to into the woods to investigate the pond.

The dam had breached earlier this summer, strewing rubble and debris down into the swamp. In this (sort of) panorama, you can see where the normal water level was before.

The hole in the dam.

Part of the swamp.

Lots of cool fungus and lichens.

A woodpecker works on a beech tree.
