Aquatic renewal
Full brook, Tefft
It's hard to believe that only a couple of weeks ago, this stream was almost bone dry and silent, but we've had a close-to-normal amount of rain recently, and the creeks have found their voices again. This one, known as Wyassup Brook, forms the western boundary of the Tefftweald preserve—one of the local Avalonia Land Conservancy jewels—and after what I guess could be called summer vacation, it's now back to its old, lovely, noisy ways. The moss has greened up nicely, and while I'm sure the renewal pleases the native Brook Trout no end, the abundant dragonflies seem to have called it a year. No doubt, odonate larvae are patrolling the brook's plunge pools... and trying to avoid the attention of the fish.
