Radnor Lake in October, 2006

Radnor Lake from 1st  bridge

Radnor Lake and the woodland surrounding it, just south of Nashville, Tennessee, was greatly damaged in the unprecedentedly heavy floods that happened in May, 2010. It's recovering, but it's still not the same as it was in October, 2006, when I made this photo of it from the first bridge.

Dogwood, beautiful even under stress

Dogwood trees are native to Tennessee and hardy, but their shallow roots make them vulnerable to drought. This one in my neighbor's yard may be dying from lack of any rain in the past few weeks.
