Millpond exuberance
The rains of recent days are mostly past, but in their wake, the millpond is now brimful and flowing fast. It's hard to believe that not much longer than a month ago, this was a whisper, with barely any water going over the falls. Today, we're bearing witness to a roaring cataract that has cut off access—well, unless you're wearing waders and you have exceedingly strong legs to counteract the current—to the boards crossing the spillway. The aquatic exuberance makes for great pictures... as long as you're not seeking genuine close-ups. Here, I'm happy I have a relatively long telephoto, to say nothing of steady feet.
