I went down one of the dikes in an effort to get closer to the autumn color.

Some openings into the reeds allowed a colorful reflection. The gap on the closer side of the canal is an Alligator passage, created as they go back and forth from the bigger pond to the canals.

These canals are kept clear to allow the management of water flow to the back ponds.

I do not know plant that had gone to white fluff.
