Small stream, Spring runoff ~ In rhw Adirondack PARK - Au Sable Forks, NY • click to embiggenThe street that I and the wife live on is a 2-block long, east-west oriented residential street. At the west end of the street - the street doesn't actually end, it's the point where the street leaves the village proper - a normally small tranquil stream tumbles down from the surrounding hills on it way to the Au Sable River. The river, at this point, is less than a couple hundred yards/meters away.

Now that Spring is here, the stream has gone into its raging mode. Fortunately, even though it rages, it never seems to overflow its banks.

I wonder what happened to all those ice floes from back in the winter?

If I were one to read something into something that isn't there, I would find the sentence "…Fortunately, even though it rages, it never seems to overflow its banks" to be an interesting metaphor for the political discourse that is going on right now.

"Fortunately, even though it rages, it never seems to overflow its banks."

That's because you live (I think) in a mostly forested watershed. It's amazing what a forest can do when you just leave it alone.

In the third image there appears to be a house (or at least a building) in the top left hand corner. I'd be feeling a bit edgy with the water that close!
