We were starting to think that Fall was passing us by this year. Up until October 12th, the Seattle area had been experiencing unseasonably dry and sunny weather. However, that day Mother Nature decided to flip the switch -- and fall arrived. Over the last TWO weeks, we have gotten approximately 3" of rain (just at our house). Knowing this, we decided to come take a look at the Tolt River today in Carnation. We had made quite a few trips to the river this summer...mostly for Indy's pleasure. We had a dry day today (albeit it cloudy), so we thought we check out what a few inches of rain does to the river.
Here's what the river looked like today. It was quite high and muddy -- and moving at a decent pace. So much so that we decided to leave Indy on her leash while she submersed herself.
To refresh your memory, here's what the same section of river looked like Labor Day weekend. Quite a difference, huh? Granted the picture Kristina took today was with her mobile phone, so she couldn't zoom in the same, but you can see that the rock bar that was present in September is completely covered with running water now.
A good shot of Jared enjoying the river...
And of course, our soggy little doggie got to experience the river too! Look how wet she is!
Happy Fall...
