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".

 I don't know what these are, but they were making lots of fluffy white areas in the trees.

 mid-Nov. and still some wild flowers.

11-13-17

 Still a pretty walk.

 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.

The trail leading up to Buford Drive

 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.

 Still say these seed pods look a lot like hops.
