Flood warnings were still on place on the river Wye in Herefordshire this morning.
They are in place for Lydbrook, from Hereford to Ross-on-Wye, the Wye in north Hereford, and the Wye in south Hereford.
The warnings remain after high river levels brought a series of remarkable sights yesterday.
Among the many spectacles one in particular stood out... thousands of windfall apples bobbing at speed down the swollen river Wye.
They caught the attention of several people out with their phones and cameras for a glimpse of the first floods of the season.

Dave Throup, Environment Agency manager for Herefordshire and Worcestershire, spotted dozens of apples trapped against the piers of the old bridge in Hereford.
"Anyone know the owner?" he quipped.
Some people managed to capture the rafts of apples on video too.
