It's really depressing for me to go to the creek right now. It's all dried up and there's no water in it and it really makes me sick to think of all the fish that have died. There are a few puddles and pools here and there and I've seen a few spotted gar and maybe one or two bass hanging on but unless things drastically change in the next week or two they'll be gone too.
I'm standing in the middle of Coleto creek, normally there is 3 to 4 feet of water here, not anymore!

A wildflower I found in the creek bed...
Mustang grapes
Leopard Frog, a youngster.
This was a fishing spider. They are huge and (I think) very pretty. This one wasn't so lucky and something cut it in two, rather strange. I just never know what I'll find at the creek. I had to cut my walk short as it was getting dark.
We've put a large tub filled with water out for the deer. I've also had to put an electric fence and some liquid fence around the pool. A lot of my plants around the pool have been decimated either by the deer or by the wandering herd of cattle (that nobody seems to own)...sure wish we'd get some rain! I also wish the owner of the cattle would come forward too and claim their cows, they are tearing up the neighborhood and none of the local government officials seem to care either.

Chance of rain here today. Hope we get some and it goes your way too.
Paula I woke up and there was some rain North of us. I just heard some thunder so maybe we'll get some.
