Staying Dry

We are staying as dry as can be although unfortunately that cannot be said for everyone nearby.  The last few days have seen unbelievable destruction due to flooding here in the northern Front Range.  On Friday, I got out to photograph some of the effects.  Boulder Creek was still HIGH and rolling.  You could hear big boulders being rolled along the stream bottom.  I found this one spot in particular that was interesting to me, mostly because I had photographed it before and would have a good reference point for how high the water was.  Note that this photo was after the water had dropped a lot.  At the peak of the flood event the water was up on this bridge based on the debris we saw...


And at normal low flows...

    1. Bill, I wonder the same thing. I'm always amazed at how fast they get back to business and can be caught after events like this...

    1. Howard, I hope you are doing okay. I read about your basement flooding and it sounds pretty rough. Let me know if you need anything or I can help in any way!
