During one of my frequent photography outings around the outskirts of town, I came upon a little bit of flooding out in the Apple Creek area. This portion of Apple Creek Road at the intersection with 106th Street normally has water on both sides, but the water has overtaken the road for the time being.

For a pretty good stretch of this road, the water is not very deep; it’s simply over the surface of the road. I parked the truck well back from the barricades and hiked in for a little while to get some cool photos.

This shows the sign at the intersection with 106th as well as the point where the road emerges once again from the water. Those barricades you see in the distance are not the first ones blocking the road; it’d be a pretty bad experience to come over that hill from the west and only then find out that the road is closed (and under water!)

Hopefully we’ve all seen the last of spring flooding for now, and that things will get back to normal. We’re long overdue for some beautiful spring weather…just ask my kids, my cameras, and my motorcycles!
