Four Years Since Irene


Although we had a day of rain raising the river for a time, the level dropped again.  You can tell on a day as quiet as this the stream is shrinking. The rocks rising from the water tell the story.  Just above where water and stone meet a dark line of damp, like a shadow, reveals that the river ran an inch or two higher not long ago.  The flood stoked by Tropical Storm Irene smashed through here exactly four years ago.

Flow of Clouds


Sometimes the flow of clouds match or exceed the flow of the river.
