Bearly Afloat



Barometric pressure was really low this morning, so we had a particularly high tide. Of course I had to go out with my camera! Several other neighbors came round to check out the water levels at the Lees (the Coles old place). The Tulous drove up, and Mark Scott brought Dick Harrison by.

All the commotion in his driveway brought out Steen, who remarked that the flooding reminded him of that great Winnie the Pooh story about riding in his umbrella in a flood.

So of course we had to re-enact it: Steen served as photographer's assistant, Jerry kindly loaned us his pole so we could place the bear without getting in too deep. Here are some of the other results of our labors, and one Ghislaine Tulou just sent me of me and my camera up to the boot tops in water. (note: these pictures were taken about an hour after the tide peaked).
