Thanks for sharing this beauty with us, Bob. It is always a lovely walk along.

Your sunrise photos are divine. And the eagle that you kept in the picture for such a long time. Losing it through the trees, I thought, and then it was out in the open and flying and flying. Wonderful.

I live on Crow Creek (which shows as Troy Creek on most of the online maps). I've never seen the place where my little Crow Creek runs into Cedar Creek or where Cedar Creek finally finds the Des Moines River.

Thank you! I'm happy to show you where Cedar Creek joins the DSM River. It's a very interesting and beautiful place.

I would like to see it. Can you pinpoint it on a map? Coordinates maybe? Accessible by car (as I'm limping at the moment, and hopefully not forever)?

It is right below Cedar Bluffs, a bit of a hike down. We can drive almost to the other side. https://maps.app.goo.gl/fNYrWRogodYTzgH4A

Very nice. The Mackerel Skies is something new. Flip it over in your mind and, to me at least, it looks like sand riffles on the lake bottoms I frequented as a kid in Northern Michigan.

Thank you. It’s important to appreciate the beauty around us when the world seems to be turning dark. It gives me hope.
