What do you do if you find a couple of ducks hanging out behind your car in the parking lot of the Albany Fred Meyer? Ask them to hold still for a quick photo, of course.
For no particular reason, my bike ride along the Albany riverfront Saturday took me to Bowman Park, where the only thing to see was the rain-swollen Willamette River.
The Willamette River at Albany was expected to crest at just under 20 feet in the early hours Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service, well below the flood stage of 25 feet.
When you’re sitting at your desk on the first of November and it rains, it’s nice to look outside and see a couple of feathered friends on an otherwise gloomy day.
What a difference a little rain makes — at least in the level and flow of the Willamette River.
We got some heavy rain across western Oregon on Wednesday afternoon, as the video makes plain, and I was happy to notice that the National Weather Service predicted rain for northern California as well.
What lightning did in Riverside Cemetery
Saturday’s thunderstorm in the Albany area didn’t last long, but it brought down at least one big tree.
