It seems like that time of year where you try to catalog the changing of the leaves, because they’re pretty, but because you want them to stay.
So we’re filling the week here with autumn, and some of the pretty scenes on the IU campus. This is around the Mighty Jordan River, in Dunn Meadow.
It’s a creek:
Below the topsoil is limestone, non-draining, flood-prone limestone. When it sprinkles hard, the levels rise. When it rains, water is coming over the banks.That’s when it is mighty. On calmer days, it reminds one of its original name: Spanker’s Branch.
