River of trees

After three days of light but steady rain the Potomac was very high. As this picture shows, many small islands were flooded. I was surprised to see how a seemingly small amount of rain could make such a difference. I guess it shows how many, many tiny streams can add up to quite a river. Rick calls a network effect.

We had a great walk today. It was Mark Twaine weather: sunshine, wind, rain and even hail.
