#PrefumoCreek

Water is flowing down a cement flute of a creek spillway. The water is contained within the flute and there is water agitation in the pool at the base of the flute. To the sides of the flute are patched concrete and some vegetation that is dry. January 2, 2026, Prefumo Creek, San Luis Obispo, California

The same creek spillway three days later after Atmospheric River storms in California. You cannot make out the flute anymore because the water is raging over the flute and both sides of the spillway. The pool at the base is very turbulent and brown. January 5, 2026 Prefumo Creek, San Luis Obispo, California

Raging water is flowing over a small spillway of a creek. The water covers a broad area and is brown from mud being washed down in the surging water. Prefumo Creek, San Luis Obispo, California. January 2026

The same small spillway for Prefumo Creek. There is a narrow flute for water that has a little bit of water trickling down. On the two sides are patched concrete and some vegetation growing through cracks and sides. At the base is a shallow pool. Prefumo Creek, San Luis Obispo, California July, 2025

#WaterfallWednesday

We have a waterfall in the creek next to my house after all the rain. It was only a trickle beforehand.
