No Barbeque Today

As I was driving home along the waterfront this afternoon I stopped to take a photo at the nature reserve and barbeque area. I guess there won't be any barbeques today though.

Over the last three days we have had 100 mm rain according to our rain gauge chart. Compare that to the month of May where the total rainfall was 75 mm for the whole month.

What a start to winter! I am beginning to get webbed feet.

[Dianne]

Ha - we too have had so much rain over the last couple of days. Your image says it all!

[Yao RL]

unless you are desperation for a sausage. There are a lot of water.

[Carole G]

We know that feeling, we are diving through flooding to get home. Has only happened since the developers have moved in.

[Ethel]

Quack. It doesn't rain but it pours

[Hazel]

Oh wow! I sympathise as we have had some very wet periods in the UK.

[Sharon]

Oh gosh you have had a deluge! Send some down to the Blue Mountains please - our dams have dried up and we have had to start buying tank water - something we have never had to do in the 18 years we have lived on our farm.

[Valerie Chesney]

This shot sure tells your story.....

[Peter]

Looks like you have had rain of biblical proportions in this shot Babs, hope the suns soon out to dry it all up:)

[☠northy]

That is a LOT of rain!

[Denise Wood]

Wow! You're getting all our rain!!!

[Jodie]

Great shot, no better way to show how wet its been!

[sally agnew]

Oh my, this really evokes rain envy Babs :)

[Joyce]

Wow! That looks more as if you'd taken it here rather than in your part of the world!

[Shellie]

So much rain for you and none for us, very dry out my way.

[Sarah]

Oh dear!

[Paul]

Wow, that's a lot of rain :/

[Lou Ann]

Oh my! We could use some of that rain!

[Babs]

@pcoulson No kiddin' Peter. David has made two trips to Bunnings to buy wood to build the ark. ha ha.

[Henri Russell]

Nice picture to show just how much rain you have gotten. I wish you could share some of it with us here in Texas.

[Dione Giorgio]

Yikes. It will take many dry days before the area is suitable for barbeques. Beautiful shot.

[Merrelyn]

Looks like great weather for ducks :)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Oh my, that doesn't look good. I hope it recedes quickly.

[Judith Johnson]

Oh dear, it looks very bleak

[gloria jones]

Gosh, Your photo captures the many inches of rainfall in this area

[Diana]

It looks as if it will be a while before the barbeque gets used again ;-)

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ooh dear -- only fit for the boat people it seems !!

[Sue]

Oh dear, it looks very wet. Hope you kept dry

[carol white]

Great capture, hope it dries out soon

[Angela]

My goodness!

[Pyrrhula]

I sympathise too. Some parts of our country have had the same last weeks . So sorry for the people.

[Sue Cooper]

Definitely not a good day for a barbecue. I guess you need the rain though.

[Sylvia Binch]

You'll be needing a boat soon ! So much rain.

[Catherine P]

That's quite some waterlog! Good capture too.

[Carole Sandford]

Oh dear, that could easily be the UK!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wow, not today!

[Ann Williams]

Wow, that's a lot of rain. We had lots of storms here last week, with flash flooding in different places. This is definitely not the time for a barbeque in this place.

[Suzanne]

All good for the garden....I suppose!

[Islandgirl]

Wow that is alot rain!

[bkb in the city]

Definitely an indoor day

[Danette Thompson]

That's a lot of rain! I empathize!

[Marnie]

Blimey teddy, luvly weather for ducks!!

Another 20 mm rain in the last 24 hours and still coming down. I have had enough of rain now. David is making plans to build the ark.

@purdey @gilbertwood @henrir I really wish I could share the rain with you.

[haskar]

Oh! To much water! The climate was in danger: drought or flood.

[Kathie]

We would say - imagine if this was snow. 1" rain = 12" snow. I'm sure you feel much better now. LOL

[Marnie]

@onewing Us too, please.

[Babs]

@haskar @kathiecb It is STILL raining. I am sick of it now.

@golftragic You are welcome to our rain Marnie, It has rained non stop since the 1st June.

[Gayle]

Wow! That's certainly a lot of rain! Webbed feet, indeed! :-)

[Kathy A]

I’m so over this rain now

[Ann H. LeFevre]

When it rains, it pours! Looks like you'll need duck boots this winter!

[Pam]

That was a lot of water.
