Day 155
With the snow melting in the mountains creating a run off, our rivers are full of water. This is common for this time of year. I just find it amazing. I am in awe! (Plus, may I add we have had a lot of rain these past few days.)
Walking through Cottonwood Island Park was truly amazing.. at every turn there just seemed to be a photo moment! Whether it was the wild flowers blooming, the green lush under growth, the birds flying tree to tree singing, the path dampened by the rain. Even the water from the river over flowing the banks into the park, the scene was beautiful and incredible!

I though that would be a great place to take a photo of water reflection. I don't think I was wrong. What do you think?

Being in this spot, I was the only person around. I could hear the different birds calling and singing! I felt like I was at some exotic location, not in Norther British Columbia!
Take care!
Until Tomorrow!

The flooding of parks and river side locations signals the warmer weather of the early season. The snow packs up river melt and as they do the river rises and breaches its banks. Although we may consider this as “water damage” this is the natural course and evolution of all rivers. Sediments in the flowing water cut into the banks and over time creates a new path. The slower moving side collects the sediments and builds and the faster side cuts the banks altering its path. The technical name is “river meandering”. A river is a river, always there, and yet the water flowing through it is never the same water and is never still and always in the present, not the shadow of the past nor the mist of the future, just the now.
