The snow is melting and the waters are rising

I went for my walk this Saturday. With the rain we had a few days ago and the warmer weather the many snows we have had this season is finally melting. This is causing the Wabash River to flood. It is about 6 feet above flood stage. The two Downtown entry points to the Wabash Heritage Trail are flooded over.

Here are a few photo's of the flood waters.

Ice

I took a walk to Happy Hollow Park this Saturday to take pictures of the frozen waterfall that I visited last week. I brought a better lens this time. I was not happy with any of the photo's I took there. By the time I arrived the sky had clouded up and my tripod was too short to get the angles I wanted.

As I was walking to the park I passed by the library where I work. There were many very nice icicles hanging from the roof, and the sun was shinning and in a good spot. So I stopped to take a few pictures.

The destination was a bust but the journey was fruitful.
