This woman didn't seem to care about the rising water, she already had her shoes in her hand and acted like this was all quite normal for a Friday afternoon.
Mating pair of Gerris water striders. A familiar sight, though today was the first time I was struck by their shadow. The shadow extends beyond the legs to the breaks in water tension. I wonder if this is just an interesting phenomenon or if it acts to make them appear larger.
