OK, I thought, my face is on, I'm dressed, let's go out for lunch. I had heard that the Barley Mow pub in Almonte had a bit of a riptide going. I couldn't believe the power of the water. It was right up over the patio the day before.

Wow, this is scary -- I looked at the previous post too.... had not realized what was happening up there.
ReplyDeleteSpring is a very powerful time when it comes to water. I was predicting a photo of you having lunch on the patio!!!
ReplyDeleteThe comparison shots just reinforce how high that water really is. Wow!
ReplyDeleteThis is all so scary.
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you got to do something different on Earth Day!
