Landlady’s chickens will have to wait.

It’s been on-again-off-again rain since daybreak. This afternoon the sky was getting really threatening and I thought I’d better go take care of Landlady’s chickens early while I could do it and stay dry.

Turned out it’s been raining heavily on the high country east of here…

…and when I got to the ridge overlooking the wash crossing near Landlady’s place, I was too late.

That isn’t really much of a flow but it’s deep right there and I won’t risk the Jeep for such a trivial purpose. The chickens have food and water, I fed them this morning. They won’t mind if I wait to collect their eggs.

But I thought that since the flow was just beginning and I had this Nikon point-and-shoot someone recently donated, I’d drive downstream and do something I’ve wanted to do for years, just for you guys…

    I find the way flash floods work interesting. Thanks for the photos.

    Not more than 15-20 seconds, probably less.

    This wasn’t a flash flood by any means, just a garden variety post-monsoon flow. The ones in July, now, those were flash floods.
