So yes, the rain did finally stop on Saturday. We were treated to a few brief moments of sunshine and much wind which resulted in a gorgeously clear sky.

Today was sunny and beautiful until we decided to go for a walk but at least it didn't rain anymore. We decided to walk down to the Connecticut River to see what changes a week's worth of rain had made to the landscape.

These pictures were taken this afternoon:







I don't know if you can really tell the difference from these pictures. So I added an arrow to the second picture to show where Jay was standing when he visited the river in June. Jay said that it definitely looked more Mississippi-like today.

The new pictures were taken with Jay's new Canon S2 superzoom camera. How much zoom does it take to be considered superzoom?

Isn't technology grand?
