Work along the river

 The area around this dam is getting a major rebuilding. You can see where they have dug out the banks.

 Here is a picture of the same dam from a distance. Last summer there were many trees along the left bank but they are now gone. I assume that, when they finish this work, the riverbed will be wider and straighter.

After taking the above pictures I turned around and noticed this tree. The white balls seemed to be berries of something. However, I am not sure since the birds have apparently left them alone.
