Lots of Photos

We had a brief break in the weather yesterday late afternoon through evening, but late last night, the rain returned. Now the weather people are evidently predicting rain FOREVER. Awesome.

Anyway, here are some photos. At least we had a nice walk in the sun.

See that row of little bushes out there? Not generally under water. The row of trees in the background, however, is an island normally. :)


Trees under water:


This used to be a big, silty beach. Here is a photo that I took on this beach shortly after breakup.


This used to be part of the parking lot.


More of the former beach. See those trees out there on the left?


Everyone came out to check out the river flooding. This park is usually only used by people putting in or taking out their boats. On foot is usually just us and maybe one other dog walker. But last night, everyone had come out to ooh and ah.


This is part of the girls' and my regular running trail:


Here is what is to the right of the frame in the above photo:


Several cul de sacs off the main road flooded. People are still driving through. The water juuuuust reaches the TOPS of their tires.


On a lighter note, here is the Chena Marina, which is used for taking off and landing float planes in Summer. It was looking spectacularly beautiful yesterday with the clean, blue sky. We were at the far end of the marina in the photo on their web site, looking toward where this photographer must have been.


Here is the front of our cabin:


I have more strawberries coming. :)


I got a giant bunch of turnips yesterday at the Farmer's Market! I felt like a beauty queen with my bunch of turnips laying over my arm. It's much better than roses!

That's a dime. :)

Oh, and here are some people enjoying their front lawn from a kayak.
