I noticed out around Kipling and I70 today, near a little Wheat Ridge park, that nature reasserted itself, temporary though it may be.  All the rain lately has caused the wetlands to spring up again, making the Comfort Inn parking lot into quite the duck pond, complete with cattails, and, well, ducks!  In spite of generous catch basins, the ponds have overflowed and the Clear Creek basin is showing its true colors.  While it's probably a hassle for the inn's guests, and a future mosquito hazard if it lingers too long, right now the little riparian zone is kind of neat, with some very happy ducks and bottle flies to attest.
