Water, water everywhere!
We have been experiencing a winter that has had more rain than usual. Because of it, we had water in the lower portion of our back yard. (It posed no flood danger to our home which sits much higher.) The National Wetlands adjoins our back yard—where you see the vegetation in the background—but rarely has the water been this high. I'm raking detritus from the surface of the water into piles to facilitate cleanup when the water recedes. The ducks have been enjoying this watery windfall!
