Just after passing under the steel railway bridge, the Southwest Mabou River makes a sharp right hand turn, seen here. Rocks again are close to the surface here, attesting to the river’s shallowness.
The splotches of purple-coloured flowers in the bank along the left side of the river do not stand out in this photo, but they so impressed me that day that I took a close-up photo, which reveals them to be what I know as milkweed flowers.
