Nov.   Ivy Creek Greenway and Mill Creek Nature Center:

Still having unseasonably warm weather, so it was time to get out on the trail again.  This time I walked East.
The top of the falls at the "mill".

 pretty reflections in the creek today.

 I don't know what these are, but they were making lots of fluffy white areas in the trees.
11-13-17
 mid-Nov. and still some wild flowers.
11-13-17
 Still a pretty walk.
11-13-17
 heading into the Nature Center area.

Area I like to walk to and sit and enjoy the views for awhile.

 This is the hilly route, although it doesn't really look like it here.

 It's the time of the year to fight colds again, so I haven't gotten out walking much lately.  It was nice to get out again.

Heading down to the Ivy Creek Greenway from Mall of Georgia Blvd.
11-22-17
 loving the colors of the leaves
11-22-17
 lots of variety
11-22-17
 even colorful trunks of trees
11-22-17
 still some colorful wildflowers, too

 and fungus

 another fungus
11-22-17
 love the juxtaposition of the white, red, green and blue.

The trail leading up to Buford Drive
11-22-17
 I was surprised to see there was hardly any water here.  I've only walked up here 1 other time and it very full then.
11-22-17
 Heading back down the path back to the Ivy Creek Greenway trail.
11-22-17
 Back on the trail next to Ivy Creek.  I thought it interesting how high this little turtle climbed on the log.  I wondered how it was going to get back in the water.  Didn't have to wonder too long.  As soon as I took the picture it jumped in.
11-22-17
 the boardwalk into the Mill Creek Nature Center.
11-22-17
 sitting on the bench on the boardwalk enjoying the views of the wetlands.

 Still say these seed pods look a lot like hops.

 Building 5 of our complex.  They get to hear the rapids from their patios.
11-22-17
 The rapids across from building 5

 looking downstream from the apartment access area.
11-22-17
 looking East with buildings 5, 4, and 3 visible.
11-22-17
 looking West at the apartment access area--grill to the left, big pavilion to the left, another boardwalk bridge crossing the creek straight ahead, decks with seating out of view to the right.
11-22-17
 one of the 2 decks overlooking the creek.
11-22-17
 ramp to the apartments to the left, bridge over creek straight ahead.

11-22-17
 heading back up to the ramp to the apartment complex---love the way these look with the sun shining on them.
11-22-17
 Not from the greenway, but I couldn't resist taking this picture when we went out to dinner
