Today after the farmers market we took an excessively meandering route home and looked at some of the flooding. We took some pictures. But I'm afraid that Madison might not be done with the flooding, so I'm going to save those. Once we've dried out a bit, I'll put some of those together for a post.
But here are a few that are a little different.
We walked around Tenney Park, out on the dock, just barely above water, around the half submerged parking lot, along the stream flower over it's banks. When we got back around to the lake, we saw that people were swimming. Sarah said "ick".
I said "what, the lake isn't that bad"
"It is right now, there are raw sewage warnings because of the flooding"
"whaa? really? I didn't know that."
Sarah just tilts her head and gives me that look that signifies I've missed something obvious. I look around - sure enough - there are orange signs stapled everywhere, in both English and spanish, warning of raw sewage in the lake.
Sewage.... that's poop.
People poop.
Not just fish poop... people poop.
Recently, I found the time lapse setting on my digital camera. I've been over-using it a bit. And I've learned that most things filmed in time lapse are still just as boring... only a little faster.
But.... time lapse clouds are cool. I got this segment about 10 minutes before the hail started. The skys darkened, it poured, and the it started to lighten up, and then BAM!
Hail.
And here's a picture of our back patio shortly after the hail. It doesn't do it justive, it melted so fast. At the height the picnic table was mostly white with hail stones.

There has been way to much rain this summer and way to much snow last winter. I'm starting to notice a trend...
