Signs of the flood

We missed the rain and the floods, but there is some evidence remaining.  Finn and I walked along the river today and I showed him where some trees fell into the river and created a new "island" of mud.

Farther along the riverbank, we found a picnic table that used to be on level ground but was washed up against a tree by the flood waters.

We found some interestingly etched plant leaves and Finnley repeatedly checked the consistency of the soil, finding the dry dirt of an anthill especially fascinating.
