Still along the river

 When I walked a little farther, I discovered that what I had though was a small tree was actually only some tall weeds growing from a pile of stones that are the high point on an island that is usually about 5x20 meters in size. The excess water is a result of the last typhoon, which did not really effect here very much but did drop a lot of rain on the mountains to the south.

Along the riverbank there were some very pretty flowers. The red and green made me think that they would make good Christmas decorations.
