The River Is High

When we go to the park for a walk, Amelia brings along the camera she got for her birthday. She got this shot of this awsome bridge, and as you can kind of see, the river is getting a little high. We went back on Thursday morning and this is what we saw
By our house, the river looks like this The river just absolutely fascinates me. I think it is amazing how fluid, changing, and strong it is. It has the power to shape the landscape and transport rocks, sticks, and seeds. It is something to respect and, at times, something to fear. This year, I think the Lord has been merciful thusfar. Just when we had a nice dose of beautiful warm weather{finally}, and the river responded fiercely, we were blessed with a couple of cool nights, slowing the melting snow from the mountains, and bringing the river back under control. It's hard to complain about the rain/snow mix when I think about it in that light. I can be sure there will be more to tell.
