Spring snow melt, along with heavy rains, results in most rivers and lakes spilling over their banks this year due to above average snow accumulation late in the season. At least it’s spring.

Congrats on your features for this lovely work! What is the little building for??
Hey Kat. I have no idea. It has some old junk in, and around, it. Maybe a fish cleaning station? Maybe a shelter from all the black flies? Gonna ask around and see what I can come up with. Thanks!

Yes indeed, at least it’s Spring! Vibrant colours in that building add an extra touch!
Thanks, Mel. I value your opinions.

Nice work Joe look’s almost unreal. Great shot….timm
Thanks. The HDR pulled the reflection a lot, I think I maybe should have toned that part down some. Appreciate your thoughts. Cheers!
