High Water

In the spring of 2021 a log had gotten jammed in my favorite boat launch on the Delaware. When I discovered this it was still a bit icy about so I put it in the back of my mind to check on later. A couple of weeks passed an things started to green up a little. Then the rain started. Heavy rain for days. I thought of the big log and wondered if it had moved out of the ramp. The river was high but the log was still there. A bit disappointed I took a little walk on River Road and discovered the entire hillside along river road was draining into the ditch. I only had my iPhone with me. I shot a few images. I made a composite of the scene in this painting. It’s the early spring green still competed with the winter browns.

This a bit fussy for me but that was a challenge.
