Ever since the first day I started exploring the dam at Delta Lake I have wanted to capture an image with the water flowing over the dam. I realized Monday night after capturing the sunset images that the water was probably high enough in the lake to make this a possibility. Sure enough, I drove past the dam on my way home and the conditions were right!

I made up my mind as I drove home to return Tuesday after work. Of course the weather decided to spoil my chances. My daughter had a dentist appointment late in the afternoon yesterday so I asked her if she was up for a small adventure rather than go straight home. There was still a slight sprinkle in the air but I wasn’t positive the rain would wait for after dinner. We were able to stay for about 15 minutes before we had to get back to the car.

It was such a cool thing to see (and hear)!
