Where's the path?

Our local river tends to flood after heavy rain so took the dog down in my lunch break to check it out. Having the camera with the good zoom I was able to close in on the bench that is normally beside a riverside path but now under water. It is crazy the numbers of houses built so close to this river.
Very soggy dog.

One of my colleagues was playing Christmas music today. If this is it now every day til Christmas I may need ear muffs.
