Thistle and Lichen
Update: I perceive a hint of red on the clouds above the hill. The color comes from the reflection of the clayey color of Lake Kickapoo, located on the other side of this hill.

Repairing a Dam
Walking toward the lake to survey the damage by the recent heavy rains.
Only a couple of feet hold the water.
The breach.
View from below the dam.
Update: Aerial view of the lake. One can see how much water can be contained once the dam is repaired.
Update: After the repair, four inches of rain increased the surface area of the lake.

Lake Arrowhead at 100 Percent
Helicopter view of the spillway (at left, where the photos below were taken) of Lake Arrowhead on May 9th, 2015.
Now filled up, some guys at the spillway jump in to enjoy the historic event.
Water spills over the wall as the guys walk along from one end to the other.
Good perspective to show the size of the spillway at Lake Arrowhead.
Extended telephoto view of the water over the spillway.
Enjoying the view: Water.
Non-stop traffic came to see the water.
More rain is forecast.

Lake Arrowhead, 98 Percent
Only a few inches remain to go over the spillway . . .
People came and viewed the water we had not seen in years.
They drove up to this fence and sat in their cars for several minutes.
Fishermen spent the afternoon enjoying being on the lake,
not particularly caring if they caught anything.
Residents and visitors have their lake again.
