Keeping a Watchful Eye on the River

We walked down by the river again yesterday and met quite a few others doing the same. Just keeping an eye on it. It's very high, but fortunately not dangerously so. After a night of no rain, it should start to go down a bit today. Jeff, who we met whilst out walking, was the perfect colour for a quick pic whilst he was discussing the river with hubby!

A fabulous pop of colour on a grey day! That river sure seems to be moving fast, hope it does not get any worse.

Looks truly sodden, but glad you're going to get a respite now, looks like it's the south's turn to get a battering later this week with Storm Ciaran 🙁

It is so interesting being part of another experience via photos!

[Casablanca]

Ooof, a familiar sight lately. I like the splash of colour from the brolly

[Lesley]

Yes a lovely bright splash. Fingers crossed the level drops a bit before the next deluge.

[Babs]

Hope the levels go down soon. Let me know if you need a hand building the ark

[Joan Robillard]

Think our summer rain has moved to the southern hemisphere to dog you. Hope you dry soon.

[Dawn]

Tough going we’ve had an overload of rain here in NZ North Island specially

[Valerie Chesney]

That water seems high & moving along fast..
Hope it goes down now!

[Islandgirl]

Oh my that’s scary, hope it dries up for you soon!

[Kitty Hawke]

Oh goodness......we are set for a lot more to come this week with the next storm .........

[Wylie]

It does look concerning. Good ol' Jeff with the red coat & brolly!

[Merrelyn]

How considerate of Jeff to dress for a phot op :)

[PhotoCrazy]

Nice capture!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Looks pretty high to me- I hope that's the crest and the water doesn't rise any further. Good shot.

[Korcsog Károly]

Great shot!

[Margaret Brown]

That looks quite angry hope that’s as far as it gets.

[Pat Knowles]

Mmmm it’s a bit high & swirly! Must be so worrying to be in its flooding range. Your friend Jeff is so kind using that brolly!

[Corinne C]

The river looks so high. Nice pop of color!

[Taffy]

Water can be so dangerous -- here's hoping this remains a pretty scene, and nothing more ominous!

[Tunia McClure]

The water is moving fast.

[Phil Howcroft]

good storytelling Issi , hope the rain isn't too bad over the next few days

[Renee Salamon]

Oh my, that’s high water - great brolly

[Kathy]

Glad it's not at the dangerous stage. The red and yellow really stand out on the gray day.

[eDorre]

Great pop of color! Glad for good river news

[Kathy A]

Wow, that's a very full river! I hope it has settled down now

[Christina]

Eek - that is starting to look high!
