I like this journalistic shot - in the first series -

 20110324-LRC01443.jpg

and browsing and comparing the last years and this years river flow... the spash closeup doesn't work for me - except on a "this is what the camera can do" level. Some ironically pretty shots in the flooded stream set Didn't know you were getting slammed by that stuff.. must have been in an earlier post ... and I don't have weather channel anymore

Did you get your power back?

Nice. The splash makes for a nice photo. Well done. The river shots are 
interesting. Are there any fish in that stream?

We had a bit of weather today, causing the power to go out a few minutes after 
a friend showed up to help me wire up some lights and outlets in the attic.   
My computer UPS runs off a deep cycle marine battery, so we didn't have any 
problem running a few compact fluorescents for a few hours while we did the 
work.

After he left, I went for a short walk to get some shots of the neighborhood.  
I liked the way water was splashing into a storm drain, and after a couple of 
fairly standard low shutter speed shots, I tried a few with the on camera 
flash.  This one is my favorite:

The river was running impressively full today.  These are just some snapshots:

This is normal winter flow, 2-3 times the normal summer flow:

I'm guessing that the log in this photo is 4-5 feet in diameter and 40-50 feet 
long:

Unfortunately I was at the wrong end of the property to get a clear shot of it 
as it went past. I tried running to the downstream end, where I had a better 
view, but still didn't get a good photo of it.

This is looking upstream from my back yard before the winter rains came a 
little over a year ago:

This is looking downstream at my backyard from the bridge in the above photo:
