On The Shore


Cold and windy, especially windy... Water level at Alton Slough was quite low...

Can a tree trunk be considered driftwood?  Don't know why not, since it drifted down the Mississippi river.  Or maybe the Illinois, since this spot is not far downstream of that confluence.  And a little upstream of the Mississippi river's confluence with the Missouri river.

Speaking of which, isn't confluence one of the cooler words?  It flows off the tongue...

I find it fascinating just how many big trees end up along the river shorelines around here.  This one's not actually that large...
