Dog Wash Overpass

No, Sancho III has not yet arrived and this is not a drone picture at all. I shot this with my Canon EOS R from the bike trail that runs alongside the road which spans Dog Wash Overpass, between Burger King and Home Depot. See that tall birch dressed in full fall foliage just to the left of the empty gravel train, right on the bank of Cottonwood Creek?  This is the tree that brought Sancho down. Please note also the little extension of leaves into the trees at its base. This is where Sancho came to rest, half submerged. The thought has since occurred to me that if Sancho just a foot or two farther out on the creek, there might have just enough bouncy inside his shell to allow the current to have carried him off. My expensive Best Buy protection plan would then have been no good. 9/22/20
