Now walking down the creek in the inaccessible section I was surprised to see beavers making a serious attempt to dam the creek

In a month Monkey Run will be full of yellow flowers that my wife would call "sunflowers and false sunflowers" but I only saw just one this Sunday...

So this Monday I made an expedition to Monkey Run; there are two sections that are inaccessible by walking trails so I got a new pair of water shoes to attempt traversal of the first section

Closer to home here are the kind of 𝐻𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑜𝑝𝑠𝑖𝑠 flowers you find up and down the creek in Monkey Run; I think every natural area in Tompkins has its own characteristic 𝐻𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑜𝑝𝑠𝑖𝑠.

Like the flowers from the last batch from Monkey Run, I think these flowers are some kind of 𝐻𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑜𝑝𝑠𝑖𝑠 and are pretty if well worn

I think of loosestrife being a little more strident than this but I think this is still some kind of 𝐿𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑢𝑚 in the upper waters of Fall Creek
