Down by the Salinas Riverside between the Storms

Salinas River Flows into Access Path from Lawrence Moore Park, Paso Robles

Walk with me along the Salinas River after today’s storm and see how full it’s become. You will be amazed if you haven’t seen it lately. I walked along the Salinas River Trail in Lawrence Moore Park in Paso Robles, observing the current of the overflowing river , the broken tree branches, and the cloud formations in the blue sky. Words can’t describe it, so I’ve brought you the pictures.

See and hear the sounds of the approaching storm on March 19, 2011, even as signs pointing to the coming spring are everywhere as trees regain their leaves and bloom along with the new tulips and daffodils. The weekend is off to a wet start.
