Always a pleasure! I can't believe the Island....

And I thought my morning was busy!     Great catches, MAK - love the different view of things with all the water.  It does go down and the new dirt brings new nutrients for the soil.  My morning pictures might get posted later.  Maybe    Did a complete walk-around of the property and all things considered, we are in very good shape (there was a much water rushing around the north side of the house where there was no construction as there was on the south (pool) side).  Did some cleanup, raking, and more planting.  Need to get some dirt.  Basement is completely dry and there were ponds and rivers outside that door.

   Glad to hear you came out of it in good shape Janet.

Taken from Broad St. bridge Genesee river rages north towards Main St. bridge.
This is looking south up river towards Court St. bridge.
All rocks under water leaving nowhere for shore birds to fish and hang out
This area usually filled with gulls,ducks and herons.
The High falls (WOW)
The gorge
Another angle of high falls.
Water in this part of gorge usually relatively calm.
There's actually whitecaps down there!

My word, you are getting some rain! I check local websites every day and it seemed it would be bad - but I did not think it would be quite so torrential. Thanks to MAK and Donna for the pix. Those unfortunate deer!

Always great to see a watcher's viewpoint from a different perspective.  It will be interesting to see if the adult Black Crowned Night Heron and juvenile hang around.  Let us know if you spot it with all of this ugly rushing water.
