First of all, the abundance of rain has caused rivers to overflow their banks. The results of that have been less severe here than in some other areas; the only "disruption" I've really noticed in these parts is a few roads closed due to high water. Farther north, they've had a whale of a time with all the precipitation. Possibly literally.
Here are a couple of quick shots I took while we were tooling along in the car, heading east of Springfield.
The Sangamon River
Actually, this is not the river itself. It's the area surrounding the river - farmland and woods.
I thought this one turned out kind of pretty with the sky reflected in the water surrounding the trees.
Heavy April rains bring a few April flowers
(Not so poetic perhaps but seemingly more accurate this year)
Yes, the sky was really that blue. The grass was really that green. No colors have been enhanced in these pictures.
Welcome back, Spring! We've missed you!
