Gully-washer

Tried the “long exposure” setting on my phone camera. Exif info says the exposure was 0.0014 sec = 1/705, but that does not seem like a “long” exposure to me.

Cropped to 16×9 to accentuate how the water coming out of the downspout almost overshoots the splash block.

It’s been such a wet spring. The weeds are very happy. A “no-mow May” would be very green…

Well done! Leaf Guard gutters?

@marlboromaam No. We investigated that project a few years ago. I didn't want to do it myself (second story gutters? Pass!) and one quote was ridiculous. Since then, a couple things have happened:
» https://365project.org/rhoing/365/2020-04-28 neighbors' oak is gone;
» https://365project.org/rhoing/365/2023-02-18 our white pines are gone

@rhoing With all the trees around my little house, I invested in Leaf Guard. The price was only like a couple hundred dollars difference between them and regular gutters. I bit the bullet! =)
