Viburnum opulus


Viburnum opulus.  This photo was taken January 26, 2014.  This bush was probably planted as part of the landscaping along the trail that leads to Walmart from Celery Bog Park.  The red berries have remained through the winter.  Looking west towards the north wetland of Celery Bog Park.  Close to the Walmart parking lot.


The above two photos are of the same Viburnum opulus bush that appears in the first photo.  These two photos were taken August 12, 2013.

A day after temperatures reached a low of about -12 deg. F.  Ice has jammed up at the Brown St. location and the river frozen over upstream from there.  Wabash River, Jan. 28, 2014, at Lafayette.

Wabash River Jan. 23, 2014






Wabash River on Jan. 23, 2014, looking upstream from the pedestrian bridge at Lafayette.  The river has receded from the flood levels of the previous week and cold weather is increasing the amount of ice floating on the river.  The ice on the surface is not jammed up yet and is still flowing downstream.
