Belated Easter Pics

Better late than never, right?

What Gets Me Through

I survive winter by thinking of flowers. How I'm going to steal them from around town. How I'm going to grow my own. Thinking of this is the only way I can live through the -20 plus howling windchill. Those days are gone and the flowers have finally arrived. Not a moment too soon!

Fireworks??

I'm as happy for Spring's arrival as the rest of the state, but FIREWORKS??? It's 9:30pm and I hear fireworks outside. Either that or someone is slaughtering everyone in town with a very large caliber weapon. I'm opting for the fireworks.

If anyone in Vermillion wants to experience what life is like in a back bay environment or with some very large and choppy lakes, drive up Hwy 19 in the morning. It was shocking. It made my photos of the flooding on University look pretty minor. It's pretty cool to see the flood plains attracting waterfowl and just how different everything looks.

Water, Water, Everywhere!

So, this is University Road. I'm not even sure it goes over the river right here. Two days ago, the left side was pretty much dry and we drove past here. Not so much with the drive-ability right now. Flooding is pretty dang amazing. I'm guessing this farmer isn't going to be planting anytime soon though! I put a couple videos of this up on youtube. The videos are even better! I might try linking to them in the morning. I'm a sleepy tree.








For the record, this is some dude's farm land, NOT A LAKE!

Here are just a couple pictures from our walk at 9:00 AT NIGHT today! The river is near flood stage and it just looks awesome. It was a really, really nice day today. Not too humid, not too hot!
