rainy morning at the dump turned park

A few decades past, this area was Parma's town dump. It is by West Creek, i thought that was a directional name, but no. A former property owner's surname was West. Well, the MetroParks have turned the place around, and it did take some years. They have, and still making paths. Parma is not friendly to dog walking, and neither are Parma Heights cops. Here many people drive there dogs, often in Subarus, to have an unbothered, and pleasant walk. 

These two willows are seen from outside the back entrance of the still new Water Shed Education Building. I have shot fotos of this several times through the seasons. This morning it drizzled for hours. The weather people tell us we are midst in a rainy spell.

From the same spot, this foto showing the water will cover up the boardwalk.

Japanese downspouts hang from the building gutters. The Japanese did have an eye of crafting elegance in fabrication. They are now marketed as chain gutters.

Bird identification is a bit off at this moment.
