Still going down

Blossoms on a wild apricot tree at Crescent Bay are backlit by sunlight over the water and the lowered shoreline background of Lake Roosevelt Tuesday. The Bureau of Reclamation said Thursday that the lake will be lowered to no higher than 1,222.7 feet above sea level by the end of April to help control flooding downstream. It was at 1,234 feet in this photo. Its full level is 1,290 feet. - Scott Hunter photo
