The Potomac River was high enough this spring to cause flooding below Great Falls. This photo was taken near the Angler’s entrance to the park on April 29, 2011.
The water may have been high, but there were many kayakers on the river. Not sure if the flower in this photo made it, as the fast-moving water that day was pulling at the plant.
There were many places just like this one along the edge of the river.
You have brought up a very great point , regards for the post.
