"Army Corps of Engineers geologist Fred Smith once stated, "The Mississippi wants to go west. 1973 was a forty-year flood. The big one lies out there somewhere—when the structures can't release all the floodwaters and the levee is going to have to give way. That is when the river's going to jump...

Everytime I see her work I fear for my pocketbook. Greenbacks want to fly out and consume her paintings. Seriously, it is that good--like walking into one of those small bakeries or chocolate shoppes that have a glass case filled with things you simply must have.

Thanks Ben, that is much easier on the eyes. The color is not real important too me, but the contrast is. I like seeing the date. PS: thanks for the link. It's cool to see what goes on in the background with programming types.

Welcome. That is one of the nicest posts I've read in a long time.

Essentially you are right, but I was thinking more of the flood itself as the natural event, and how it is trying to take it's natural course despite what man is doing.

How about Brown Bold, Red Bold, or Dark Orange?

Ben, is there a simple way to make the fonts black in color or bolder for the dates that show when a post was posted? My eyes are not what they used to be.

He must have spent a small fortune on that R&D. In fact, I know he did since he's asking for more money from total strangers. I hope for his sake that the clip costs less than the camera, and that he finally becomes solvent and it works out for him.

Nice report as usual Guy. What a pleasant surprise this trip was. I was sure we'd be beating back briars half the day....all sweaty and cursing. But it was really nothing like that. A 70 degree day with a nice mixture of sun and clouds, 5 miles of swamp, interesting topography, and good freinds...

5 miles! I'm impressed. Great frog photos too.

Nice report Guy! I see the woods are greening up good. I'm surprised you remembered that stick trick....it makes you commit to..."do something for God's sake!". :p

Yes, we'd be a yachting club. We'd wear ascotts, white pants, and boat shoes. We'd model for J. Crew.

No Batsto village, no savannas, no mullica, no batsto river, no wescoat bogs, no great swamp, no Sleeper or Sleepy Creek, no Nescohauge.....

I'm only getting a vague picture of who he might be Gabe.

Durn his doggie hide!

This is an interesting read...
