Coleto Creek...

Yesterday (Sunday) I went down to Coleto Creek and took some photos...It was beautiful and I got some great photos....
The creek looking East...

It was crystal clear and you could see the sunfish/bluegill nest....
Then today I went back down to do some work on the property and WOW!!!
In 24 hours quiet a change...we didn't get much rain Saturday but they did West of us...can you tell....


It's a muddy swollen Creek....I couldn't stand where I stood on Sunday to take a photo as it was under about 3 ft of water...it's just amazing that it rained upriver Saturday...and it didn't get here until Sunday/Monday night...what a mess...


This is the gravel/sand bar that normally only has water flowing on one side, now it has water surrounding it...and the kids pool that is normally ankle to knee deep is 3 to 4 ft deep...it is supposed to crest tomorrow and then go down...Amazing the power of WATER!!

Hi Wendy,
Wow very nice weather you got there and a very clear water. I'm very impressed by the nest of the bluegill sunfish nest. There are huge!!! I guess this is a pretty territorial species.

Yall didn't get some of that wonderful rain we all got?? Shiner got so much rain our park creek is almost overflowing, which is a wonderful thing, because it had been almost bone dry!! The whole town of Shiner was amazed & our park was packed with people on Sunday afternoon. It was awesome!!!
It's amazing how quickly the water can rise!!! great photos!!
