Flooded...

Due to recent rains here, we have experienced many days of our nearby Spoon River being bank to bank full. Well, the rains last week caused massive flooding in our area. I took a few pics from the ground and I will post some comparison pics that I took from last September when we had some flooding then.

September 2008:

this is looking down the hill from the opposite side. This part is all under water.
Now, for an even better view...
