Spring Flooding.

We've had some more record rainfalls this Spring. Some local areas received up to 6 inches of rain in just a few hours.
When the rain let up temporarily, we treked the mile to see how far Turkey Creek had flooded it's banks.
Puddle Jumping!

-Raindrops-

- Iris-

There was water gushing on the side of the road.

-Rocks 'n Water-

The typically tiny trickling streams were overflowing with rushing water.

-Muddy Boots-

The flood waters come into view.

The creek is another hundred- two hundred feet into the trees.

High waters.

The rain has been excellent for the garden!! The vegetables are growing almost as quickly as the weeds!! :)

We got a lot of rain too, and it's finally going down. Most of the fields were half covered!

Miss you tons!

Hey Lizzy, I love the picture at the top with the blue skirt and boots and mud... lol it doesn't sound nearly as pretty as it looks!! :) - Did you do something to make the color more vibrant? the color just pops in some of your photos... or is it just lucky light and timing?
