Warm, wet and …Swans..

With heavy rain all night and most of today, didn’t manage a walk until later this afternoon, when it let up for a short while.

Wet

the water level continues to creep up and no wonder…between ‘rainfall warnings’ and warm temperatures (it was 11c when I took these pictures)

The first bay

water is just pouring off of all the surrounding mountains…here you can see the first bay by the viewing platform is filling up…

The log bay

and so is the log bay….

Swans

There was not a duck to be seen, but the higher water has brought in some Trumpeter Swans

Swans

Six of about a dozen that were out there today.  Also quite a few Bald Eagles, but nothing else except one Great Blue Heron.  With so much of the farmland in the upper Fraser Valley under water  I suspect the ducks are busy feeding on the flooded fields.
