This is a picture of the erosion around Lilly Branch. The first thing that struck me was how much erosion there was. Lilly Branch must either rise a lot when it rains, or it used to be at some point a much larger stream. I suspect the second, because there is a lot of foliage which has grown on the new bank over time which would’ve probably not survived if the river significantly rose each time it rained. When I look at this picture, I can’t help but wonder what caused Lilly Branch to change in size so much. I think erosion is fairly common in waterways, but I don’t know if this is a normal amount. If the stream lowered, we’d see more interesting erosion patters that you can currently see through the water.
