A monolithic stone suddenly appearing in my backyard? Not quite. It's Bill the groundhog, whose interest has been captured by something on the other side of the yard. He stood there, stone still, for a minute or two, allowing me to grab my camera a get one decent shot. Here it is, with some color re-touching:<br />

The blue skies in the photo above belie the heavy rain that fell last Friday in Freeville. I measured 0.85" for the day. As a result, my dock was mostly underwater. By the old mill dam, the water was raging, as you can see. To take the photo, I carefully climbed onto the old concrete side of the dam and held my camera down close to the water level.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13345151614036862643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145484221558943611.post-3152768910584856062013-08-30T23:41:00.000-04:002013-08-30T23:41:04.738-04:00Picture of the Day: August 30, 2013<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm having trouble with my camera's memory card right now, so I've been using my phone for photos lately, and the quality isn't as good. I was way out a door yesterday when I noticed a grasshopper just chilling on the door. I shot a couple of quick, poor-quality photos. If only I had a working camera...<br />

There's a park a couple of blocks down the street from my apartment in Brockport. Today, as I passed the park on my way into the office, I spotted a member of one of my favorite bird species. You probably can't see him in the photo above, but you can definitely see him here:<br />

This great blue heron cautiously eyed me as I laid down my backpack to get my camera, then took these few photos. He held his ground, but I'm sure that if I tried to get too close, he would have flown away.<br />

Yup, <a href="http://placeofacorns.blogspot.com/2013/02/meet-bill.html">my resident groundhog, Bill</a>. Well, this might actually be one of Bill's new offspring. I'm hoping they will soon find homes a little farther from home. But while you're here, Bill, or Bill Jr....do you have a prediction for next winter's weather?<br />
<br />
Apparently, he was avoiding the question. Here's a one-minute, twelve-second staredown that we had...until I moved and scared him back into his hole. To make it more interesting, I've condensed it down to 10 seconds:<br />

I'll be spending part of my time in Brockport, NY as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Meteorology for the next few months, so you'll be seeing content from around the Brockport/Rochester area as well as from the Freeville/Ithaca area. The photo above shows the Main Street drawbridge over the Erie Canal looking toward the east (roughly). The photo was taken near sunset; you can see the moon rising in the upper right.<br />
<br />
I'm experimenting with photo editing. Here's the same shot, but with some adjustments to accentuate the greens, blues, and reds in the photo above; notice how, for example, the yellow lights become white:<br />
<br />

<br />
And the photo below shows an adjustment to the "temperature" setting so that only the "pure" greens, blues, and reds are accentuated. The "Brockport" sign, flags, and red brick building stand out. Leave a comment: which one do you prefer?<br />

My next stop on my Ithaca flash flood tour last Friday (after Freeville, Ithaca Falls, Downtown Ithaca, and Buttermilk Falls) was Treman State Park, a hidden gem just a few miles south of Ithaca. I only checked out the lower part of the park, but I heard that upper portions of the gorge trail had been washed out. The spillway across Enfield Creek was a little more of a raging torrent than a peaceful spillway on this day. No wading, and also no driving. Piles of downed branches had accumulated all over the lower park, but especially right near the spillway:<br />

The debris was piled pretty much everywhere. The Enfield Creek watershed must have had more rainfall than some of the other area creeks. The creek had clearly spilled well out of its banks from Thursday night into Friday morning:<br />

On the way back to my car, I stopped to look at some flowers, which seemed to be enjoying all of the rainfall:<br />

Fall Creek from the dock, this Wednesday, just before sunset. The photo above and the photo below are rotated 45 degrees. In the colorized photo below, you can see the fading sun on the tops of the trees. The days are getting shorter, but there's still plenty of green out there, even though it's been unseasonably cool lately!<br />

Goldenrod is coming into bloom: a sign that we're nearing the end of summer. Another sign that we're nearing the end of summer: yesterday's weather. The Cornell weather station topped out at 65, and here in Freeville the high was 64. Last night's low in the backyard was a chilly 43. Some of the trees around the area are confused, already changing color for the fall.<br />

Today's sunset over Fall Creek. The sun found a hole in the trees. I'm hoping to find some holes in my busy schedule to add a couple more posts about the recent flooding around the Ithaca area.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13345151614036862643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145484221558943611.post-16628061791011166542013-08-14T21:19:00.002-04:002013-08-14T21:19:20.966-04:00Change in Format for the blogHi folks,<br />
<br />
I know that there are people still interested in following the blog. And I am still interested in maintaining the blog. But changes to my schedule mean that I have to make some changes. I'll be spending part of my time in Brockport, NY and part of my time in Freeville over the coming months. I'll still be collecting content for the blog, and I still have a massive backlog of pictures and posts to sort through. But I'm not sure how much time and/or content I'll have to add a full post every day in the days, weeks, and months to come.<br />
<br />
So here's the plan. I'll try to post something every weekday. Many days, at least for the time being, it will be a Picture of the Day: a picture that I haven't posted yet, and a brief description. When I have the time, I'll write out a full-blown blog post or two. The weekends will be wild cards, based on my schedule. I may post a lot over the weekend, or I may post nothing, depending on what else I'm up to that weekend. But the plan is for, at a minimum, five Pictures of the Day each week, with a couple of regular posts - I hope! - every week.<br />
<br />
If you haven't done so already, please "like" the Acorn Place page on Facebook (linked on the upper right side of this blog). In addition to short updates when I post something to the blog, I plan to post additional photos and content there.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your support of the blog, and I hope you continue to visit Acorn Place in the months ahead.<br />

After starting my flash flood tour in <a href="http://placeofacorns.blogspot.com/2013/08/august-9-10-flash-floods-freeville.html">Freeville</a>, continuing to <a href="http://placeofacorns.blogspot.com/2013/08/august-8-9-flash-floods-stewart-park.html">Stewart Park and Ithaca Falls</a>, and moving on to <a href="http://placeofacorns.blogspot.com/2013/08/flash-flooding-august-8-9-2013-downtown.html">Downtown Ithaca</a>, I drove just south of the Ithaca city limit to Buttermilk Falls State Park.<br />

A small channel next to the parking lot, like seemingly all small channels in the area, was full of runoff.<br />

Despite the heavy rains, all trails in the park were open, and all camp sites were taken.<br />

First I stopped at a bridge to look at the water running downstream from the falls:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My next stop on my flash flooding tour, after <a href="http://placeofacorns.blogspot.com/2013/08/august-9-10-flash-floods-freeville.html">Freeville</a> then <a href="http://placeofacorns.blogspot.com/2013/08/august-8-9-flash-floods-stewart-park.html">Stewart Park and Ithaca Falls</a>, was Cascadilla gorge. I went to Treman Triangle Park by the intersection of Linn St. and Court St. in downtown Ithaca to see the extent of the flooding there. It turns out I wasn't the only one around:<br />

Then I went another half mile to mile down the road and took some photos of Six Mile Creek between South Cayuga St. and South Geneva St. The water was running fast and high, but without a waterfall, it was nothing spectacular.<br />

The Six Mile Creek gorge, maybe a mile upstream, is not accessible by foot from downtown, for good reason. The channel gets quite narrow.<br />

Parts of the creek bed that are normally dry and covered with plants were run over with floodwaters:<br />

Storm sewers dumped the rainfall from showers around noon directly into the creek. By now the rain was letting up; I don't think I even carried an umbrella to take these photos:<br />

And, last but certainly not least, a video compilation of the flooding along Cascadilla and Six Mile Creeks. You can especially see the power of the falls at Cascadilla:<br />

After checking out the flash flooding around <a href="http://placeofacorns.blogspot.com/2013/08/august-9-10-flash-floods-freeville.html">Freeville</a>, I drove down Route 13 to Stewart Park at the foot of Cayuga Lake for some more photos. I was surprised to see that there were other folks there, even though it was raining at a pretty good clip during the short drive down the hill. The raindrops were small, so I'm guessing that it was what we call "warm rain", which you often see in the tropics and occasionally here in the mid-latitudes, with the right conditions. The raindrops form in air that is above freezing, and colliding and coalescing with each other in the cloud - it's called "collision-coalescence".<br />

A couple of things surprised me. First, considering all the rain we'd had the previous night, the water in the lake was surprisingly still quite blue. I imagine that it will be turning brown with all the sediment that will be washing into it over the next few days. The other surprise was the very low level of the cloud base...almost down to the lake's surface! The clouds certainly hadn't been quite that low in Freeville before I left! The ducks in the photos below seemed to be enjoying the rainy weather.<br />

From Stewart Park I headed maybe a mile down the road to Ithaca Falls on the aptly-named Fall Creek (which also flows behind my house farther upstream). I stopped at the bridge on Lake Street to take a picture of the swollen creek.<br />

A storm sewer was dumping the recent rains directly into the creek. Point sources like this can add a lot of water in a short amount of time...it's like another small creek being dumped into Fall Creek. This is why water retention areas are so important!<br />

Even the small cataracts on the cliffs were running with water. Normally they are dry or merely a drip.<br />

At some point, the water had carved a channel in the path, and now the water had its own path to follow into the creek.<br />

The water had spilled over into what is normally high and dry. The water was calmer here, with waves moving through. But in the main body of the creek, the water was raging.<br />

Another dripping cataract. As I drove around the area, cataracts were running just about everywhere, and a couple on Route 96 north of Ithaca has produced some minor road flooding.<br />

To get as close as I could to the falls, I had to cross a couple of puddles of standing water, one of which was about 3 inches deep. Socks and sneakers: not a good idea. A day later, they're still wet!<br />

We had quite a bit of rain in Freeville and across the area on Thursday night into Friday. There was some major flash flooding reported, including evacuations about 10 minutes up the road in the Cortland area. My rain gage picked up 3.21" on Thursday and 1.07" today (Friday)...and about 4" of that fell in a 24-hour span. That's by far the most it's rained since I moved here.<br />

This is the area where I'm guessing the road was most severely flooded: just to the Freeville side of the one-lane bridge over Fall Creek. The water was still within a foot or two of the road in places.<br />
