annual flooding

This post is slightly overdue....but i'm posting it none the less!! These pics were taken about a week ago and things have mostly remedied themselves, but you can read about it anyway!!

All the snow was very pretty...and i liked to admire it either on foot, or through my window. It was very peaceful and quiet with the blanket of white on everything...i took these first couple of pics from my bedroom window at around midnight one night...i knew the melt was coming...and melt it did, as you will see as you read on!!

Last year, we got snow. Then we got rain. Then we got floods. This year was the same. Was I prepared? Nope! So after the parking lot at work started to fill up with water, some colleagues and I jetted out on our lunch break and went shopping for rain boots. I didn't like what they had to offer in the 'adult' section, so i ended up getting kids boots!! Aren't they fun and colourful??!?!!

At work, out back behind our classy trailer, runs the Nicomekl River. It flooded its banks and the water was lapping up against the back of our building. That meant the ducks would cruise by in close proximity

This pic was actually taken on day 2 of flooding, after the waters had recided a bit (i didn't have my camera at work on the first day...but the water would have been off the left side of the picture)

And for some reason, the sky seems to do cool things with wierd weather...so

here are some pics of the amazing sky
