Rapid Water

      During the high run off from spring snow melt, the river in front of our house here in Colorado becomes a torrent of white water at times. Today was a special surprise to watch the kayakers run the river. The strength and agility it takes to do this sport is amazing . The skill to navigate the rocks and swift water is something that I would like to learn. But I do think I will be satisfied to watch and photograph from a distance.
       By six thirty this evening the river took on a slightly different feel. Emergency vehicles, life flight out of Boulder, and many rescue personnel were assisting a transport to the nearest hospital.
