I have fun with my water, ditch digging, flood watching and such, but it falls just a wee bit shy of exhilarating. I like that you love to get out and photo all the seasonal action.Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-24089003321023108092011-04-13T10:25:01.214-05:002011-04-13T10:25:01.214-05:00Neat cattle crossing.

With some warm rains you will soon have some green grass and plenty of buds on those trees too. <br />Thanks to your blog post last year, that one part of the river will always be known as the Dead Beaver Area.
