All the things too investigate

Sometimes it’s not the prettiest wave watching pics that we can think about the most.

Here, I really like how the petals that blew from the trees surrounding the lake accumulated in this spot, and how they accumulated in different bands. Do the broader white bands show strong wind events when many petals were blown off the trees? Do changes in individual bands’ widths indicate that the wind direction changed? What’s all the yucky brown stuff in between the petals?

Also for those of you who are really curious, I guess you could calculate when that picture was taken if you knew my height (or my height, if I told you when I took the picture :-))
