The River

I grew up in Pound Ridge New York just north of Stamford CT. We had a pond on the property and the water flowed from it to Stamford.

The water went to Laurel Reservoir and from there to the North Stamford Reservoir and then the stream continues and is officially called the Rippowam River.

Yesterday I chose to walk along the Rippowam River. It was exhilarating. We had three inches of rain the night before. The river had overflowed its banks.

Down at Mill River Park the water was roaring through the park.

Finally, just before the river empties into Long Island Sound, we had this lake just for the day.

It is such a nice feeling having been associated with the river since I was a child.

Stamford, the city of rock and water. Yesterday was a great water day.
