I stopped at the Beaver River.

It wasn’t quite as impressive as the Gooseberry but I still stood in awe at the power of all that water.

Blue Flags 001

The same rains that have swollen the North Shore rivers have produced some pretty nice flowers. The wild blue flags are covering many of the wet marshes this year.

Gooseberry River 002

The spray from the torrents of water crashing over the falls soaked the trees and anyone that stood on the overlooks.

At flood stage, the North Shore rivers are amazing. The ground seems to shake as thousands of gallons of water crash over the falls.

Several days of rain have made the North Shore rivers pretty impressive. On Thursday I stopped at the Gooseberry River.

Before I retired, many people asked me how many gallons per minute came down the Gooseberry River. There is no gauge monitoring the flow, so the answer is unknown.

Lupines 001

The lupines liked the cold damp spring and are at their peak along the North Shore.
