Swirling Water


If you are reading my posts on a regular basis you may be wondering why so many images of the gorged river. It is difficult to explain how awesome it is to watch this incredible process.

It only seems to happen here at the bridge in Ennis. Even the photos I post do not give you a true picture of what it is like to stand beside this river of ever-changing ice and water.

I found an open pool that has formed a water vortex. Chunks of ice popped up, circled around the surface then disappeared under the water current. The occasional cracking of large sections of ice interrupted the sound of swirling water like a loud gunshot.

Temperatures this week have been much like last week. We have enjoyed a couple of awesome days with bright sunshine and only a light breeze. Those are the days you get outside to play.


The second photo I took at eight mile yesterday is of a lovely design that caught my eye. Mother nature is such an amazing artist.
