Here's a set of two pictures from Lover's Leap at Hannibal, Missouri: one from November of 2012 when the Mississippi was rather low and another from late April 2013, with a moderately high flood level. See more pictures here.
Heavy rains in late March and April have awoken the Mississippi River from its winter slumber. Here are two pictures from about the same spot at Jones Confluence State Park that show the water level now (April 19, 2013) and when it was at a more typical level (Sept 2006). See more pictures here.
