Walking the Dogs

With the frost beginning to go out of the ground, melting snowpack and rain the flooding down at the creek has been impressive. Nevertheless, in last 48 hours the waters have receded significantly.

From our walk we could see that the previous ice level stood more than a foot higher.

That is not the creek in the second photo - that’s a trail/firebreak - yet the water that flooded it laid the turf down in the direction of the flow.

It appears that the deer have eaten most everything except the emergent white spruce.

And we returned with a prize.
