After the Flood

We recently had a flood in Rhode Island along the Pawtuxet River.  Walking, the river is about 5 minutes from where I live.  After the flood receded, I went for a walk along a path that runs from Historic Pawtuxet Village to Warwick Ave.   The path follows some of the runoff streams from the Pawtuxet River. 

I was on the lookout for something interesting to capture with my camera.  With no luck along the path, there was a great find at the end of it.

At the end of the path there was a baseball field.  I walked the perimeter of it and came across this cool tree.





Along the treeline on my way back to the path, I looked up to the sky.  This is what I saw:





My GOOD TO KNOW FACT:
While R.I.'s state tree is the Red Maple (Acer rubrum),  Oak-Hickory is the most abundant forest type of tree. 

Remember to never look directly into the sun.
