Before & After: How quickly nature changes

As promised, here are the pics demonstrating the stream drying up in a matter of 3 months.

Before: Early May 2004, this part of the Cave Branch of St. Francis River at Rock Pile Mountain Wilderness Area was deep enough to bathe and almost swim.	After: Early August 2004. Same spot at the river (note the skinny trees and the large rock in the background), this time was all but dried up. This spot was one of only a few along the entire branch that still held some water, and the only movement was a little trickle here and there where a spring surfaced.
