High water

We’ve had quite a bit of rain here in Sacramento these past couple of weeks, and as a result, the American River is fairly high, or at least compared to how I’ve seen it since I moved here last summer.

High water.

High water. For scale, the river's edge is normally another 20 feet past the end of the treeline.

I felt like I was in a bayou or something.

Im not sure what this was supposed to be, but it was kind of neat.
