Familiarity
May 9, 2022
One of the advantages of returning to a place time and again is that one becomes familiar with its character…how it, literally in this case, ebbs and flows.
We had three days of fairly solid rain interspersed with a few thunderstorms. That kept temps in the low 40s in the mornings and not out of the 50s during the daylight hours. Water levels rose and became quite forceful when funneled between the boulders.
The combination of high winds and larger amounts of water altered the landscape…one who knows the area can readily tell when there is new debris about, or that which was there previously had been rearranged…
Even a day later, the water volume was still up and moving right along…
with further evidence of that which was moved about.
The tree in the foreground was upright until the arrival of the recent storms.
Meanwhile, other areas of the country and world are dealing with much different circumstances.
Unfortunately, such conditions have become entirely too familiar.
Be safe and well.
