Creek Survey

It rained quite a bit last night, so I headed out at the tail end of the showers to check out the creek levels. Only 8 feet at the Pope/Chaucer bridge, far below the flood levels of 24 feet that we saw 3 years ago. The sun came out at the end, so it turned into a very nice day for a walk.

I think this was the peak high water mark, which I saw at the beginning of my walk, just as the showers were tapering.
The ducks were hanging around the banks of the creek, where the water was not flowing as fast.

Winds must have been strong enough during the storm to blow this tree over
At the Bryant Street bridge
Some cool graffiti at the Middlefield Rd bridge. Not a good time to be adding to the artwork.

At the end of my walk. The water level has receded a bit, and the sun is out.
