Lots of Rain

Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge, Massachusetts

The place where life loves water and the rain is welcomed.
  Water lilies are in bloom,
    those white petals, the stardust of ponds, always come close.

Otter Alley is flooded, I can hear the water flowing over.
  There are some wobbly branches acting as a pass through, not convincing, but...
     hey, we are here, a touch of water won't hurt.
 
 I wonder what would the Otter make of this scene ? 

Otter Alley: ... living with water...

Otter Alley: ... so nobody seems to complain...

Otter Alley: ... when the rains come...

Otter Alley: ... these wobbling branches are not convincing...

Otter Alley: ... how inadequate !...

Otter Alley: ... and what would the otters think ?...

Otter Alley: ... happily splashing away...

Otter Alley: ... leaving the bench behind...

Otter Alley: ... where are you ? somewhere around the corner, smiling...
