After the Rain

After the Rain - Sometimes a person has to take a chance - a chance on the weather, a chance on the electric scooter, and a chance on the digital camera. This time, taking all of those chances turned out to be a good thing. I had been visiting that dry gully back behind the development's little recreation building month after month since moving here to this forested development. Until this day I had never seen a drop of water in the gully, even though it is a deep one and protected from drying out by lots of shade from the many oak and pine trees that line the gully's high banks. Today, following a big rain storm, there was the water. The ground around the gully is not all that covered with grass, but I took a chance of rolling the electric mobility scooter closer to the gully. I hoped that the rain had not made a mud pie out of the ground over which the scooter would have to roll. All went well, and roll was what the scooter did without any problem. I rather well like that gully with some water in it. All that was missing were the deer that live in the woods nearby. They probably had plenty of water from the rainstorm that came to the deer in their forest and so were not thirsty for gully water. Anyway, "my" gully surely does look better with some water flowing in it than it does without the water. Image: Water in the Gully - Gus Kilthau
