1. Swollen Creek. I had to drive over the bridge that spans this usually calm stream. Quite muddy water, but I liked the colour of the dogwood branches (red).
2. Fast River. The geese were being very careful not to get swept away.
3. Whitecaps. I daren't wade into this. Sorry if I wimped out, davemac!
4. Snail's graveyard. Maybe they were eaten before the snows came, maybe they perished beneath it.
5. Debris. Piles of downed branches from December's ice storm await the municipal garbage trucks.
6. Some colour in my little garden! Don't know what this is, but it's from a little bulb I planted 20 years ago. Every year it reappears - so glad to see it now  |
Its always a problem, melting snow, if it all melts at once it has to go somewhere, plus it leaves a mess behind.
The blue bulb you planted, not totally sure, but best guess Scilla.
Don't even think about wading into swollen water flows...............unless you have a waterproof camera.
