Timber Ridge Forest Preserve : Klein Creek

The rush of water under the bridge was very audible. The water on the western side of the creek at the bridge flows faster, since the rest of the width is somewhat blocked by rocks. You can see the turbulence in the photo that’s looking along the bridge to the shore and the photo of the downstream side of the bridge with the green patch of grass in the middle. I also included a zoomed photo of the dam-like waterfall upstream around the bend.

The wind blew the bucket under the bridge and made dipping the bucket into the water a little more challenging. In one photo looking straight down you can see the rope dangling with the bucket out of sight under the bridge.

The bugs are getting more noticeable. I saw a number of ants and bees on my way to the bridge.
