On a warm day, there were probably some people cooling off in water today, like these adventurous individuals wading out to the bottom of a waterfall. On my other visits to this waterfall, the amount of water flowing would have been too great for anyone to even think about getting to that location.
Cooling Off by the Falls
The rain fell steadily since last night and today which caused my pond to overflow, but the water flowing out of my little pond is never as pretty as this flow on a branch of the Amnicon River.
Pretty Water Flow
The heavy rains had caused dry creek beds to overflow again and with more rain coming, they won’t be going down real soon.

On this nice summer day, some lucky people who have off from work could have enjoyed a hike along the Amnicon River and crossed it by using the 55 foot Horton covered bridge.

With all the February snow, whenever spring comes that the woodchuck promised, I think my lawn will look like a river with the amount of snow that has to melt.
Flowing Water
Meteorological winter starts tomorrow and with some predicted snow and wind, it probably will look and feel like a white winter wonderland for the start of December. But I rather see white in the form of foam caused by lovely waterfalls instead, especially on a nice summer day hike where you don’t have to be bundled up in coats and hats.
Foaming Falls
The storms in the state have been bringing down lots of rain so some of the streams and rivers are running full again and that always makes the waterfalls roar to life like this twisty Snake Pit Falls.
A Twist in the Snake Pit Falls
Many people were enjoying the outdoors on this sunny, warmer Sunday. For some it meant some yard work (at least were the snow has melted), but others may have taken a walk or even a hike. They would have to be extra careful if hiking along some of rivers which are running full or flooding due to the melting snow. It wouldn’t take long for a toy boat to disappear from sight in this fast flowing water.
Rushing Water
The sun finally made its return on a nice fall like day with cool temperatures making it just right for a hike on nature trails through woods and along rivers.
Hike Along the River
The weather, with lower dew points and comfortable temperatures, make it a perfect Sunday for a summer hike, especially along rushing water where you can soak your feet after a long hiking adventure.
