Great blue heron in a shady spot along the bank of the canal. The remnants of Hurricane Ida dumped anywhere from four to eight or more inches of rain across Pennsylvania, and Wildwood Park was seriously flooded. The boardwalks remain closed but water in the canal and lake has been receding and the towpath trail is now navigable (and very muddy). I decided to walk on the towpath this morning, not expecting to see much wildlife due to the very high water, but I was pleasantly surprised by what I did see. It turned out to be a very enjoyable morning walk. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Today was Day 3 of my initial house demo to restore things after the flood. Seeing the walls all cut open is almost painful. None of this has been seen since 1965! 58 years later, the house needs surgery.
Meanwhile, I'm staying in an Airbnb nearby. I'm hoping we can be back in the house in a few weeks. I'm still trying to raise funds for all of this. Insurance is paying about 3/4 of what is really needed to get things normal again, and lodging is ridiculously expensive. Living in a tourist town with room rates of $100- $250 per night with most places refusing to take pets is frustrating. I can only stay where I am until the 22nd. If you can help, please do. Thanks. gofund.me/7fa597a7
DANA had a massive impact on the suburbs and countryside not many km from the city.
The city itself wasn't really hit.
But the people were!
altre viste sul torrente Lavino , ancora gonfio per le pioggie primaverili: sullo sfondo un bellissimo albero, un olmo credo...
Great egret hoping to grab a snack in the slowly receding, but still very deep, flood waters of the canal. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

I've never created nor shared a 3X1 photograph, but that is how I saw this scene a year ago. The fog and a flooded ditch made for a unique moment.
Jersey Valley Remodel, after the storm from last year. The spillway was destroyed in an unprecidented storm. The valley downstream of the earthen damn was changed.
It is fun to explore and this is one of my new favorite spots.
A double rainbow just before sunset.
Shot during the same session as the previous shot, with more of that vog-free light.
This was the day after the biggest rainstorm in local memory, which caused many road closures, mudslides (very rare for Kona,) and property damage. The South Kona Fruit Stand was washed away, and one neighbor had mud fill his living room to chest height. I measured about 7 inches of rain in 3 hours at our place, but luckily our very rocky ground barely allowed a puddle to form.
I'm playing with Xpro again, not entirely pleased with this, I guess round three. My first roll -- shot through a reloaded Lomolito - was Elite Chrome 100. The saturated blues were just amazing. But with the rolls since, it's been 200 (all I could find down here). The answer might be that simple. It also could be the fact that the first roll was processed by this great camera shoppe (back in Maryland), and I'm at the moment forced to use the likes of Walgreens. Since I don't own my own personal C-41 lab ;), any suggestions from the Xpro pros reading this? Any input would be mush appreciated.
Anyway, this image -- from a Lomo Fisheye roll just processed this evening -- is not how I expected it to turn out at all. Quite simply, however, I went to the creek a couple of weeks after there was some flooding, and really wanted to focus on this beautiful wildflower. It was out rather deep in some heavy brush, so I waded in as much as I could (trying to minimize my contact with some nasty weeds, and avoid venomous snakes, etc. ;), extended my arm to get as close as possible, and this is the result -- quite a rush of green.
Well, thank you for taking a look. ^_^

This Central Texas rookery appears to be rebounding nicely since the 2015 Memorial Day flood.
Flood waters moved through the park area swiftly, completely submerging Bird Island---only treetops on the island were visible per witnesses. The unfledged chicks nesting there are mostly missing and presumed dead, with the exception of those that survived at the uppermost nesting sites in the rookery. Some dead birds can be seen on the island, but most were likely swept away by the raging water.
Some surviving birds have now moved back down to water level. After clean-up of debris from the storm damage, it may very well appear to casual observers that there was very little damage to the birds and the island. However, loss of bird life, erosion and loss of vegetation (one large tree was toppled) were significant.
Since the flood, there has been lots of courtship displaying and breeding throughout the rookery. New, aqua-colored eggs can now be seen readily in nests and are in fact quite numerous. Some birds which may have abandoned the island during the storm appear to be returning (just conjecture on my part, though).
The east end of the island (as shown in the photo) appears to have suffered the least damage from the storm.

That's week 2 in the bag I'm on a roll lol, after the floods we had in Carlisle last month the council haven't got around to repairing the subway lighting as of yet (probably rushed off their feet) .
This was completely submerged in water so just getting it open was a relief , however it is very dark venturing underneath during the day and even darker at night !!

Another view of this location.
so I went to visit my favorite tree yesterday (it grows on a gravel bar beside the river -- a very precarious spot to sink your roots) and at the base of its trunk I found this curious bit of debris. Needless to say, it surprised me a little bit.
Cuyahoga River, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio.
(For the curious, I will say that I did give the hand a little tug after taking this photo-- there is no body attached, alas.)
