Enlarged portions of the below picture show exposed roots of mature living trees up-slope, and several previously-fallen trees along the shoreline show the serious erosion caused by inattention to Spring's "extra" water levels.

Water has been carving new landscape for centuries and i suspect it will continue to do so.
