Libby at the Souhegan River

Souhegan River, Amherst, New Hampshire, March 2010

My daughter Libby took this photograph last month with her phone.  She wanted to make sure I gave her credit for the photograph, so here it is. She shows a nice eye in this picture, getting the reflections of the trees.  And getting Cody to walk right down the yellow line was a masterful touch.

Souhegan River Flood II, 2010

Souhegan River at Boston Post Road in Amherst, New Hampshire.  Just at its banks at 7.33 feet on the Merrimack gauge and 3140 cfs flow on the same gauge. You can see the top of the stairs for the canoe launch on the opposite bank. In the summer, this river sometimes gets down to 80 cfs.

No school today in Amherst.  The school is just beyond the river:
