Yesterday, Sandra and I finished work early and the sun hadn't set yet so we decided to take a short stroll along the Richland Creek Greenway. This was a first visit since we moved at the end of October.
Of course, the winter scenery was starker, though more light slips through the leafless trees. In the summer around sunset, the trail becomes so dark so quickly that it feels a little like the woods are closing on you. But not yesterday, the dusky sky was quite colorful and visible from the trail.
And the Richland Creek was surging. Before we could see it, I could hear the water rushing. While Nashville's weather over the course of the year is rather wet, little precipitation fell last summer. As a result, when we visited the Greenway back in July and August, the creek was a rather lazy stream. In contrast, yesterday after the recent rains, a sense of urgency seemed to propel the water forward. Now that's a creek!
