As some of you know we've been in one of the worst droughts I've ever seen...But since yesterday it's been raining and raining...last time I checked we were up to 5 and 1/10th inches of rain...We received 3 and 7/10ths early this morning...I took the jeep out as soon as it was light enough for some photos this morning...it is so great to see puddles, dry creeks running with water, cattle tanks overflowing with water, and flooded fields...we needed this...
This is where the dry creek bed runs across our driveway...
A cattle tank near us overflowing with water...
Our dry creek bed at the property has water running through it...
The main creek (Coleto Creek) has come up 3 foot but still not flowing. Hopefully it will get more water in it as all the dry creeks and fields run off into it...and of course it is still raining out too.
The swale hole at our property has water in it...
The pool was overflowing with water...yikes! Good thing I drained some water off it yesterday and I drained even more off it this morning. You can see the skimmers in it now...
And one very wet and miserable doe this morning! All the deer are up near the house as it is on high ground...So thankful for this rain, we definitely needed it! Let the grass grow!

Nice you finally manage to get some rain Wendy. A bit late i know but i wanted to wish you a happy new year...
Hmm, Blogger didn't want to register my comment!
First anything like this happens to me!
Well, I was saying this looks like a lot of rain indeed, especially after such a drought!
In Aussie and Tasmania, people are suffering terribly with horrific fires.
Weird climate.
Your humming bird from your previous post is stunning, a shot I would proud to make!
Cheers and enjoy your WE!
Happy New Year Chris.
Noushka I've been watching Australia's news and they are getting hit hard with fires and hot dry weather. We could still use more rain, the creek isn't flowing yet. But I'm thankful for any little bit we can get.
Thank you regarding the hummingbird photo. If the lighting was better today I would try again. The berylline hummingbird is hitting the feeder a lot today and I haven't gotten a photo of him yet. Very unusual for the hummingbirds to stay here over the winter months. Enjoy your weekend too, love the burst mode photos you took, beautiful.
