So the Mississippi is rising! Not that is anything new, but it is always an exciting, tense time along The River. The Mississippi is amazing. I don't know how to explain the hold it has. It is fun to watch the cycles, how it lives and breathes. The frozen winter fishermen, the eagles and ice chunks in the early spring, the flooding of spring and summer, the low water of the fall. Never ending cycle. Always fun to watch.
It was a wet summer, fall, and winter. Needless to say this ended up with some massive flooding in the following spring. Which came early (or so it seems). But it is not fully here yet, there is still some possible snow a coming. It kinda snuck up on me, the flooding did. You expect the river to rise in the spring, you count on it, you comment and you move on. But every 8 or so years you get a big one. 1993, 2001... and we've had some good ones for the last few summers. This last set of pictures is crappy cell phone ones cause I hadn't planned on heading down to the river.
