High Water in October
It took me a while to get my camera up and running this week, so I missed getting pictures of the highest water after our heavy rains of the weekend, continuing into the workweek. I have to say I don't remember the river being this high at this time of year before.
Look how little space shows under the Third Street bridge; granted, there is a drop-off at the mill, but normally you can see more under the bridge. Compare it to the photo that lives at the top of my sidebar, which was taken in late July.
A couple of days ago, looking out of the Neuger Communications Group office at 411 Water St., we were pretty sure we were seeing water up to the bench on the west side of the river.
That's a lot of water! The ducks have been keeping a low profile; it's got to be challenging to keep up with the current during high water like this.

It's getting biblical out there: high water in October and a plague of box elder bugs and ladybugs. Not to mention the infernal heat and humidity.
Thanks for your very kind comment on my blog today! When it cools down a little, I'll have to make some of that sweet bread to thank you properly!
