Light on the River





The high Christmas waters crested before this morning, leaving behind a sharp line where the river swept through the snow along the banks.  As I stood on the bridge this morning, it took only a few minutes to see the level drop further, shown by inches more of wet rock standing out of the water.

The sun shown in fits and starts as I took pictures.  After three grey days, I longed for stronger light.  Finally, on the fourth try, after twice starting home and returning when the sun spread wider, this shot emerged. 

My dear family presented me with three river books yesterday.  More light on the Ottauquechee!
