A Quick Trip to the Nature Park / A.K.A Keeping My Sanity, Or What's Left of It

I've taken you here before, but in a different season.  It's now late summer and the trees and plants change from week to week.  It's starting to look like fall, even if it doesn't feel like it.  It's 90F in Philadelphia as I write this.  Too, too hot for me at any time of the year.

 Low tide and late summer flowers.
 This is a nice place to sit when the sun swings around and the bench is in the shade.
 The Ben Franklin Bridge to New Jersey.
 Cormorants walking on water.  I love that they float low in the water, their heads like periscopes.
 In a few more years, this park will be even more interesting.
 Lovely fall flowers.  I just wish the background vista was lovelier.  Camden, NJ.
The Walt Whitman Bridge to New Jersey.  And the ruins of piers.
