Some people on my friends list are doing a Share Your View post today.  I was going to take a picture from my back deck of my garden or something, but decided instead to share another sort of view.  I hope it's not considered cheating to share a view that is of a scene that is NEAR my house, but not actually part of my own little space!

This is a picture taken from the bridge that is about a mile from our house, of the river-side park I often walk to when I am out for a stroll.  The evenly-spaced lines at the forefront are all that is visible of the parking lot.  Our city is currently under a state of emergency due to flooding, and while our house is not in danger, there are quite a few place in low-lying areas that are in danger from the river.



As you can see, it is not open for strolling at the moment!  Unless, of course, you are a blue heron....  Hopefully you can see him there under the tree!

Wow! Wow wow wow. Pretty photos but a big mess. I sure am glad you are on higher ground!

I'm glad your house is ok... and wow, I'm sorry about the flooding. And so much of the corn crop is now at risk....

Stay safe and dry.

OMG! Lin! Be careful! I have been watching the news to keep up on how things are going out your way. Please be sure to haul tail if the water gets any closer! Otherwise I'll be totally worried the whole time. It is pouring like the dickens here right now. But god knows we could use a little. Though the hail I heard earlier made me cringe!

**Huge hugs** Keep safe honey!

Dang. As much as I love blue herons, this is a hard view to take in. I hope the hospitals especially stay okay.

I've been watching the weather and thinking about you and others I know in the midwest region, hoping that everyone was okay.

I'm hoping you're still okay, that's a lot of water, and I know even more has fallen, and the rivers are dangerously high.

Take care of yourself and those you love.
