Wintry colors

[SE18]

Hi all, the canal and aqueduct are at their most colorful during the winter. Of course a little snow and ice would look nice but this has been a mild winter with global warming or whatever

So the plants surrounding the waterways are in their glory

The sedums you see, are normally reddish and yellow, but mild temps have left them green

the coteneaster berries and leaves are brilliant red

the fall leaves are still nicely colored in the waterway, providing insulation, along with the mud for the hibernating bullfrogs

And you will notice I've been putting in many hours rock-facing the aqueduct and the outside is complete, at least visible portion, and the inside area is next. Been able to do mortaring as the temps have been above freezing

Eventually the drab green of summer will return but for now, enjoying the peak color

Lovely.

you have a lot of patience and just think the warmer weather just gives you more time to get things done or think of new ideas which means more work .

I can envision myself walking along that track keeping a sharp ear for the trains that may come by................it's so real looking and the plants really give it a nice accent. Very nice as always
