PHOTO CHALLENGE: Rain Rain Go Away....

[epoh]

This rain lately is just crazy. Instead of letting it get us all depressed, I think we need a PHOTO CHALLENGE!

Post your best/favorite/funniest/etc picture of the rain/flood/stormy weather.

There is a particular place not far from my house that I want to get a shot of when the flood waters are raging through. This time last year, this same spot was but a trickle. I'll see what I can do.

Here are a couple of "too much rain" .. last week I was at our church camp and the "creek" became a "river".. four days later we had 15 who were baptized .. of course, it was a LOT calmer!

The other photo is what you do when there is too much rain and kids with lots of energy.. we had a great time...

Amy.. I noticed you were from Fort Worth.. and your last name was Brown... we had a set of triplets .. last name was Brown too... that were baptized.... they were from Grapevine.. not to far from you I think!

I just joined this forum and I look forward to the time here!

Welcome to the forum Shelley! Nice shots. I like the second one -- looks like some messy fun.

Shelley, Welcome to TPF. Where is the creek in the first picture?

Well, shoot. The area is closed due to flooding. Imagine that.

Rusty... (that's my brother's name too)... the creek is next to a very small church camp near Ada, OK.. I don't even think it has a name... I have been going to that camp for about 18 years and this is the first time I have seen it raging like this!

This one is still a favorite of mine:


And this one was taken around the 3rd of July of 2004.. when Joe Pool Lake was 8 feet above normal:

Nothing exciting, but I was so mesmerized by the rain a few weeks ago I just sat on my back patio and watched... and snapped a few...





I'm not so mesmerized anymore. My back yard is a swamp, and my pool has overflowed 4 times... and filled with mud from the planters around it. If anyone ever needs advice on how to remove mud from their pool... I'm getting to be a pro!

Well, these are from 2004 and in Ft Worth.

Trinity River at the 157 Bridge in Arlington and local area. Theres' usually a lot more room under this bridge.
