McClellan Ranch Preserve
McClellan Ranch Oreserve
Here are a few pics from a brief visit to McClellan Ranch Preserve on Monday. Our otherwise pleasant time sitting quietly next to the creek was ruined by swarming clouds of bugs that forced us to pack up and leave sooner than we would have liked.
A shady part of Stevens Creek.
One of the very shallow pools in the creek, due to low water flows after a long, rainless summer.
A cottonwood leaf shows some autumn color.
A bee rests on a leaf at the water's edge to take a drink from the creek.
One last look at a dappled pool before being driven out by bug swarms.
Here are a few short videos of the creek. First, a soothing riffle.
Next, a view of what inside the creek looks like, underwater.
Last, water gently flowing over fallen leaves in the creek.
