The creek is running very low, so it has a lot of leaves "stuck" in it.

The colors are very vivid this year because it's been so dry.

The "watering hole" is almost gone. 

I'm not sure why these critters don't just drink from the creek. My husband says these are racoon tracks (with the thumb) & maybe possum (five toes in front) . There were deer tracks too, but they don't show in this picture.
