Bridge view to other bridge at Crosby Cove
Watery reflections where turtles swim
Water lilies beginning to bud
Entrance to the beaver dam. Later in the season if you listen carefully you'll hear the babies squeaking and chattering.
Still life with bubbles.
Bikes are abundant but so are swallows and red wing blackbirds
Native plantings are scattered around the floodgates, as well as signposts with fun facts about the ecology of this enchanted place.
