Spring has come early to the UK, long may it continue. Lovely shot.

Looks like it's a bit in flood?

[Ron]

Your perspective and composition really portray the effects of the early high temps. I almost expect to see a kayak shooting the rapids through the trees there.

@onewing I'll drink to that one Babs unfortunately as you know the weather changes very quickly over here:)

@louannwarren Thank you Lou Ann, it was a lovely day for a walk along the river:)

[Peter]

@Dawn Thank you so much for your comment Dawn:)

@gilbertwood Thank you for your comment Denise, the river is usually this high in the winter or possible even a metre higher:)

[Peter]

@stray_shooter Thank you for your wonderful comment Ron, funnily approximately one mile down river from here over some small rapids a white water slalom course is laid out:)

Wow, we are having crazy weather worldwide. What was the temperature? Does spring start on the first of March or later like the US?

[Peter]

@bella_ss Thank you for your comment Sheralee, the high yesterday was 20.5 degrees C and today is expected to exceed that, for us in Yorkshire it was 19 degrees yesterday possibly a little warmer today, average should be 4 to 6 degrees C this time of year:)
