For this weeks #wednesdaywalk initiative started by 
I took these about a week ago on a walk during a day trip. The river was a good 6 or 7 feet above flood level, yet the water is so calm it is a mirror for the sky.
It is common for the river to flood here in the spring, though generally not to this extent. The water table is completely saturated from a large amount of rain, as well as runoff from snow melting in the Adirondacks.
Lucky for me the path along the River is well beyond the flood plain. Its a nice gravel path one way, and a pretty nature trail the other.
I came across these Canadian Geese along the way. They appear to be taking in the scenery while grabbing a snack. On a side note if you zoom in a bit, you can see how a good part of the boat dock is completely submerged, giving you an idea of just how high the river is above flood level here.
Here is a canoe launch currently under water on the other nature trail.
I just had to take a photo of this guy who looks to be a bronze of a larger Pileated Woodpecker randomly hanging out here.
I hope you enjoyed my walk along the Hudson River. It is a beautiful area and I look forward to coming back here as spring continues to bring everything into bloom!
I had hoped to get out for a walk today, but alas it is a rather dreary, rainy and cold day outside. Unfortunately no walks for me today sigh.. It is a curl up on the couch in comfy clothes and a blanket sort of day lol.
As always thanks for looking in! :)
