The idea popped into my head more than a year ago when we were brainstorming about what we could do to help the We Are Water expo scheduled for Rochester March 11 through May 10: why not photograph the Zumbro Watershed?
I’ve fished, canoed, hunted, camped and hiked in public lands and waters along the river valley but photograph?
For the stunning sheer bluffs, there’s the Root River Watershed; for wild lands and wetlands, the Whitewater Watershed; and the Mississippi River Valley is a photographer’s dream. But the Zumbro? It’s more of a watershed for a large urban center (Rochester) and a lot of farmland. Sure, it has a few trout streams and a lot of woods, but nothing like the Root or Whitewater.

VICKSBURG, Miss. (WDAM) – The United States Army Corps of Engineers Vicksburg District opened Friday the gates of the Steele Bayou Control Structure for the first time since March 15.
Due to rainfall in the Mississippi River Valley and Yazoo Basin, the Steele Bayou Control Structure’s gates have been closed since mid-March.
The control structure, which was built in 1969, combines with the Mississippi River and Yazoo Backwater levees to prevent the Yazoo and Mississippi rivers from backing up and further flooding the Mississippi Delta.
Potential overnight tornadoes and destructive hail puts 45 million people at risk Friday into Saturday By: CNN

(CNN) Another round of severe thunderstorms is becoming increasingly likely for similar areas in the South that had strong storms and tornadoes on Wednesday.
About 45 million people could be at risk for dangerous storms from this next storm system Friday into Friday night, with nearly five million people currently in a level 3 out of 5 risk. This includes Shreveport, Louisiana; Jackson, Mississippi; and Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Large to giant hail is possible across parts of Texas, and a swath of damaging gusts and several tornadoes are possible from Texas east into Mississippi, said the Storm Prediction Center (SPC).
