It was back to Lucy Park I ventured on this second Sunday of the next to last month of 2024, to join throngs of other nature communers enjoying the return to a clear blue sky after several days of deluges and thunderstorms.
The Wichita River was running slightly higher than it was the previous visit, a couple days ago. The added water was causing the river to flow faster.
That parental unit and kid you see at the north end of the Lucy Park Suspension Bridge was venturing onto the bridge quite tenuously. So, I opted not to walk further out on the bridge, due to knowing doing so would cause the bridge to move, likely unsettling the already nervous kid.
There was other evidence in the park of the recent bout of deluges.
The flooded area you see here is near the Lucy Park Log Cabin and swimming pool parking lot.
The leaves in the trees are still green, and still stuck to the limbs.
There is one item falling from some of the trees, other than leaves.
Pecans.
One sees a lot of pecan pickers scouring the ground under pecan trees, looking for the highly valued nuts.
Such seems like way too much bother to me.
