I wanted to go for a walk Saturday to get away from the computer. It was a beautiful Fall day and I was headed to the track but a football game was being played. So I went to the river walk. I was in awe by the scenes I found there. Between the beautiful colors still around the dam you could also see damage Sandy brought to it. Some of the damage you see here was caused by the March Floods from 2+ years now in Rhode Island. But many more trees were down from Sandy.
It was so beautiful and pristine when this walk was first built not that long ago. It is such a shame to see it with downed trees and not being worked on. Maybe some volunteers could come together and begin a clean-up. We are forecast to get more heavy rains and wind this upcoming week. I sure hope the folks still reeling from Sandy can be spared this dreaded forecast.
Did your area get many trees down from Sandy's path?
Fab pics Lisa! Looking out my back yard, down into our woods, I see several trees that were snapped in half and several that have been uprooted. There is a creek that marks our property line, however, during Sandy, that water quickly rose. I'm glad that there is a teeny hill leading down into our woods or we could have been flooded out. I hope this next storm is easy on all of us.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda. It's amazing how much damage weather can do in a short period of time. I sure hope so too.
DeleteWe did not get the high winds that were being predicted by some fluke of thermodynamics. The riverwalk is lovely. I hope some group steps up to take care of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Olga, did you get much rain from Sandy up there?
DeleteI saw lots of trees down from Sandy all along the paths that I walk.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing the power of nature isn't it Happyone? I visited the coastline yesterday and saw how much the ocean moved the sand - sad to see it in buildings and homes though. I will be posting some pics soon of it all.
