Northern Bench is just emerging out of the floodwaters. Across the other side, I can see the top of Other Side Bench as well. As the waters gone down a little bit, it’s starting to reveal all the debris that’s been washed down in the flood and gotten stuck on all the trees.

Day 234 – Northern Bench (flooded)
Well, it’s official. The river has flooded, and it is higher than the highest flood we saw last spring. It’s so impressive. All of the Benches are under the water. There is nothing quite like the power of nature.
Day 230 – Northern Bench
It’s another very quiet day down at the river. Except for the birds, they are all singing this morning. I see Edward cruising down the river. There’s a little bit of sunshine but the wind is still cold. I hear baby magpies everywhere.

Day 203 – Northern Bench
The river level is pretty much the same as it was the other day. There’s a little bird up here in the tree. It is singing so sweetly. I’m sure you’d be able to hear it in the recording. As much as I love it when the river floods, I do miss being able to […]
