All gorgeous.
Except Limey's as it shows what I missed by taking a trip to Arran in cloud-bound January.

Oh and Grav's - because I'm jealous of close ups of squirrels (which I adore and only see whisking about at the speed of sound these days).

And Kero's, because your horizon is so distant, but a completely different eco-system is still acessible.

And of course Glatt because you don't hate it enough NOT to have a sense of humour about it.

So effectively I hate you all. Buh-bye.

A friend of my hubby's, fishing in our pond. It's 80 degrees here!

He's kind of tiny in this one... a larger one here.

The weather this morning, then by 2pm it was sunny and not a drop of snow in sight. Now it is snowing again, sun, melting, rinse, repeat.

RF Last Night

We had torrential rains the other night, and wind. Probably more severe than I've heard since I've lived here. I love severe weather but it even woke me up a few times. Anyway, these are pics of the Great Miami river, which flows behind my place (A River Runs Through Me.) I apologize for the graininess. Apparently I suck at taking simple pictures with a camera phone (and I thought the Droid 2 was supposed to be a decent camera...I probably just have no idea what I'm doing.) The restaurant down the way is completely flooded on the bottom floor: nothing new for the restaurant but new for the new owners.

a couple more, pick from the best of the evils

Shawnee123 · 03-01-2011, 02:37 PM

I forgot to resize the big one, and it looks better than the resized ones.

grumble grumble

Run for your lives! The river is flooding!

Shawnee123 · 03-01-2011, 02:44 PM

It's usually really calm and still through that part of the river. You can see lots o'wildlife. Last night I could hear the river rushing, while I was inside. It's pretty amazing.

For some reason this puts me in mind of

The Pass is open!

Shaw that seems awfully high to be so near your home?
Please tell me these aren't literally from your window?!

Shawnee123 · 03-01-2011, 02:51 PM

Nah, I walked across the driveway. It is very close to the top of the levee but I don't think it could ever get so high as to be a danger to me. I've never worried about being flooded out. The restaurant (right beyond the lights in the one pic) is set low, so there is a river view from the downstairs, and only when it gets really high does it flood.

I'm safe.

Sundae · 03-01-2011, 03:08 PM

I'm relieved.
