Flooded

2007.04.24
The water covers the path.

Cruising

Fitting in with the surroundings.

It&#39s going down slowly.

Breaking down barriers

A different landscape

moving

Don&#39t go beyond the ropes!

Everyone&#39s checking out the water level.

An afternoon siesta

The visit

A new place to swim

New vistas

After a good long swim

I went over to Great Meadows to walk and take some photos. Walking wasn't possible because the Concord River, after our drenching rains last week, spread out and covered the paths. However, the new waterways gave ample swimming room for the geese. Several wood ducks kept themselves hidden in the weeds and a heron went fishing.

While standing there someone walked up to me and said, "I also hoped to take photos." We chatted for forty minutes—about the swans that flew over and the return of the wood ducks, and a camera group she attends. By the end of the conversation I had an invitation to check out the group. Sounds good.

Then I headed over to the North Bridge in Concord. The Concord River had cut a wide and deep path across paths and fields. Again the geese took advantage of the waterways.

(Geese look great enlarged)

sudipsur Flooding of waterbodies really change the landscape... some enjoy it. But in third world country like ours, it's a curse!
