Creek running high, flanked with white violets and blooming Virginia water leaf. Cloudless sky grayed with high smoke. Paths busy; a few people standing in the water; two sailboats in the southern breeze. Two geese and six goslings trimming the grass on the western shore; pair of mallards nearby; great blue heron flying north, low and close to shore. Another pair of geese on the grass farther north. Loud chorus of frogs calling from the northern marsh.
