Still more rain here on the east coast of Australia and I have had enough of rain now. I think I preferred the drought!
We had another 102 mm overnight to 9 am this morning and still more rain on the way apparently.
I just needed some colour, so this afternoon I had a play with the flower photos taken in our garden a couple of months ago and turned them into this photo strip.
This is so beautiful. I can’t believe all this wretched rain, the canal behind me is almost full and my front yard is under water and it’s still pouring down
I have been thinking of you all “up there”. I hope you are not under water or experiencing a tornado. The news reports here in Melbourne seem to be getting more and more worrying.
BTW.I like your flower presentation. Each one is a little beacon of hope in a stormy world.
@kjarn It's definitely heading your way again, in fact it has probably reached you by now. The rain has stopped here about an hour ago well at least for the time being.
@koalagardens@koalagardens@annied@ludwigsdiana@ethelperry 380 mm rain in the last 48 hours. The rain has rushed down the hill and washed sand and soil over our retaining wall into the patio area on one side of our house. The gutters have been overflowing and I am getting webbed feet. Apart from that we are fine.
I know we are a country of extremes, but I definitely preferred the drought to this deluge.
David is feeling better now and has started building the ark.
Wonderful images. Some gorgeous flowers there; I like the film strip edit. One more watchtower to capture but I am waiting to have the first Covid vaccine before I go for it. It is in a narrow yard inside a big hotel and I am staying away from people as much as I can.
You must be getting a lot of rain. It was on Canadian news today. A year ago, bush fires, this year flooding - crazy. Love how you've created this photo.
@casablanca Well there you go, who would think we would be world famous in our little part of the world. Still raining and we can't even get outside to clear the patio from the soil and sand washed in there until the rain eases.
@aikiuser Be careful what you wish for, we had been in drought here and wished for rain, but enough is enough and we are fed up of it now.
@kathiecb@lesip I know we are a country of extremes, but I think we have had enough of rain now. I much preferred the drought. Another 100 mm rain overnight.
