After our historic 3 year drought, we have had an abundance of blessed rain for the past month or so. Our rivers and lakes are starting to recover, and they just lifted water restrictions for our area. DH and I decided to take advantage of the sunrise and running river to take some shots last weekend. This is the South San Gabriel River as it runs through our City Park. Just a few months ago, this was basically a dry river bed with no flowing water at all.
Close up of the "falls". Click to enlarge to get the full effect of this photo.Hope you enjoyed our little trip to the park. Make sure to visit James and see some amazing photographs.

Oh my word Kat, the reflection of the trees in the water is just beautiful. It really is looking good again, I remember the pictures of when it was just so dry and sad. Such a pretty park. Hugs, Marty
beautiful photos!
That is so neat. I like waterfalls and reflections and you've captured a combo of the two. The reflection is so beautiful.
Nicely done. :)
Beautiful pictures!
Good Morning Kathy.... Great photos and I just know that you're thrilled to have them flowing again... Have a blessed Sunday!
(((HUGS)))

What lovely pictures, Kathy, and it's hard to believe that the river bed was dry just a while ago. It certainly is beautiful now. SO glad you got the rain you needed!
xo,
Sheila :-)
Lovely photos! The early morning light gave out a beautiful blue sky and the tree reflection is so clear! I love how the rays have glistened one part of the waterfall!
My what a wonderful waterfall scene and I love how the trees are reflecting in the flowing waters.
Two great photos...and a beautiful reflection...the light is so pretty on the 'falls'...
The second photo is superb. So many ways to celebrate light.
What a breathtaking sight!! I am so glad your water restrictions have been lifted. That must be a bit scary. But for a dry riverbed, it sure looks like a wonderful waterfall now! Gorgeous park!
I am going to visit James and see what this meme is about! Have a wonderul Sunday, Kathy!

Beautiful photos, perfectly captured.
Who would have thought, looking at that still reflection, that the water leads on to a fall.
These are wonderful, especially the second one! I'm glad your drought has abated. Rivers need water to be themselves!
Thanks for the visit!
the reflection in your pictures is absolutely beautiful!
That's very lovely!
Glad your drought is over!
How beautiful! Thanks for stopping by :-)

The reflections look great. Love the contrast between the levels of water too.
Very beautiful!

And I have another question. I can't ask someone I actually know or they will know how stupid I am...what's a Meme?
Great photograph! The contrast that a little water from the sky makes!
Congrats on winning the cute birdy cloche. It has great potential. Be sure to show it off when you gussy it all up!

Hi, Kat... just checking in with you to say I hope you do come visit in St. Augustine. It's a fun town! If you do, email me, and let's try to hook up. Would love to meet you. We are there pretty frequently. I would like to live there all the time, but Mr. Magpie's business is elsewhere.
XO,
Sheila :-)
These are truly amazing photos, Kathy. I can imagine the relaxing sound of the gushing of the water...Christine
Drought is a scary thing to me. It can be so devastating. We need to be careful don't we. There are lots of ways to conserve water but in the end without rain you are out of luck.
What a pretty waterfall! It must sound so nice.
I've noticed the bay near where I live is the highest I've seen in decades! It makes me a little nervous about flooding.
