This area was absolutely drenched after a record 5.59 inches of rain last Saturday. The new term here in the local news is "pop up" storms, which I guess is a thing going forward. With all the rain received, I managed to get to the local marsh the other morning to take some photos of the rain's impact.

You can see how much flooding there was in the area. The trail is completely covered in water. It goes to show why it's so important to preserve this area; as I've mentioned before on Hive, there is a lot of interest in putting a freeway through this area to reduce traffic congestion.

If you put a large road in this area, where does all the rainwater go? I'm not a civil engineer, but I never understood the logic of an area like this, likely thousands of years old and necessary for river flooding, being destroyed.

Civil engineering questions aside, take a look at that green. Lovely green, everywhere.

And of course, life was everywhere. Plants, wildflowers, fish, turtles, and even a few water birds relaxing in the middle of the water.

You can see the bird in the middle of the photo above; I definitely need to update my camera! There are so many interesting water birds here; I'd love to get better at taking photos of them when possible.
