Celebrating Iowa Rivers Today

Celebrating Iowa Rivers Today on World Rivers Day, Sunday the 27th. A friend of mine told me that today is the celebration of rivers across the world. You can check her post Here; WALKIN’, WRITIN’, WIT & WHIMSY. And I knew I had a few river photos starting with this little one right outside of my house here in the middle of Autumn.

But, lets get back to Autumn here on the Cedar River in Iowa

The Mighty Mississippi River – Photo was taken last month.

And a way to cross the Mississippi River here on the I74 Bridge which will be torn down soon. A new bridge is being built right next to it as I write this. I never did like this bridge, it is very narrow and people drive way to fast on it. But it is pretty at night.

And last, I have been hanging out down by the Mississippi River for the last few days, well, I go home at night. But the Egrets are still here, the water is low and the fishing is good for them. I pull up a chair on the bank of the river and sit there patiently watching and photographing these beautiful birds. I am still amazed that there are so many here.

I have hundreds of photos of the Egrets, so it might take me awhile to get to all of them.
