More rain.

It was raining again this afternoon when I headed out for a walk. I headed into the swamp to get some pictures. I was pleasantly surprised to see the Moneywort in bloom. I guess it has been rather warm lately.

Extensive Flooding.

Over the past few days we received over 18 inches of rain. We had a five gallon bucket out in the open to see how much rain we got and it overflowed. I have never seen this much flooding in my life. I wish I had taken my camera to town but since I was going with someone else I did not have time. One parking lot had over a foot of water flowing across it. On the highway we forded a stream that was running six inches over the road. After arriving home I hiked on down to the lake and took some pictures. The level of the lake has risen over two feet. The peers are covered by about a foot of water. If you look close at the first image you can see the peer cutting diagonally across the image about a third of the way up the left side.

Floating docks did much better, though some of the ones pulled up on the beach for the winter, floated away.

The lakeside trail was rather flooded in places. The raised walkway floated up about four inches and there was over a foot of water in the trail where it ends.

I enjoy being out in the rain. It adds a whole new atmosphere to the landscape.

A friend's wedding.

I had the privilege of photographing part of a friend's wedding. Here are a few shots of some of the decorations and then one of the church that I shot right as we were leaving.
