Recovery...

Well, the rains have stopped and the flood waters are starting to slowly recede. The Goshen/Florida, New York area was hit pretty hard and the fields are now lakes. Many of the locals are saying that this is the worst flood they have seen.

Same field a few days apart. Gray and rainy one day....


Absolutely beautiful a couple days later....

A Wet Welcome...

Well, as I am trying to get everything settled up here in NY I am finding that Mother Nature isn't going to be giving me much help. At least not in the near future. In the past couple of days we've had about five inches of rain and that has really made a mess of things. Sure, it could be worse, it could have been snow! The gurus say that it would have been like four or five feet of snow. Fun, fun, fun....

Anyway, I was doing some driving around today because cabin fever was setting in and thought I'd take a few quick shots to show you all what you are missing up here.

Enjoy!



Drivers make their way through a flooded section of Route 17K just west of Montgomery, New York. The recent storms have brought over five inches of rain to the area leaving many roads flooded or impassable.


The flooded paddocks of this horse farm west of Montgomery, New York are evidence of the amount of rain the area has received recently.

Back and Forth...

Hi folks,

As I bounce back and forth between Texas and New York trying to get things lined up for the move I had a few spare minutes tonight and wanted to get a shot of the beautiful bluebonnets. Last year was pretty rough and we didn't see many, but this year they are just bursting out all over and it is really something.

I was able to coerce Bentley into sitting still and looking my way for a moment. He's a reluctant model, but he works pretty cheap!

Anyway... We had a nice time watching the sunset and enjoying the Texas bluebonnets.
