VERY well composed and captured John!! Our lake Travis has been up to 110%last spring as well, as long as the dam was engineered so they don't flood, I like seeing them that full. <>< #11663524

Thanks for your comments, they are appreciated!
I would have loved to see this one full, but it is over a days drive from home for me! #11663543

It's mind-bogling to see this expanse and have it full after a heavy rain. Wonderful capture John. #11663570
