“Line 5” has corroded
snake oil flows
through aged pipelines
it slithers 12 miles
through Native land
pushing fossilized lies

Cumulus congestus – Towering cumulus.
Cumulus congestus to cumulonimbus.
Cumulonimbus approaching the troposphere (fuzzy top).
Within a 5 minute period, these cumulus cloud clusters transitioned to towering cumulus (cumulus congestus) and then grew into a large cumulonimbus cloud mass that produced lightning and rain. They formed so quickly that they dissipated within another 10 minutes.

Along the banks of our backyard pond. There’s actually two turtles here. Known locally as Florida cooter or river cooter. These two are about football sized (American football).

Our city takes tree climbing serious – don’t!

Rainy day thoughts…
After such a dry winter and spring, we’re visited by another rainy day here in NE Florida. No complaints here and I’m sure the geese are happy too!
Raindrops on leaves – most magical green – saturated colors that excite.
Crepe myrtle leaves dripping with rain.
Flowering dogwood with bursts of green and red.
A rather rare occurrence here in Northeast Florida in early June – a long steady rain. After an extremely dry late winter and spring, rain has returned in a big way. Afternoon thunderstorms fill once dry ponds and bogs and gardens brim with life and color.
Bald cypress branches hang low with wetness – maidenhair ferns pop with color and a chubby garden bird delights.
Even the old boy himself can tolerate the rain…
…for a little bit at least.
Pirate “enjoying” the rain. ^.^
And a blast of the most unnatural pink you’ll ever see!
My daughter calls it “Barbie Pink”.
Thanks for visiting our garden on this rainy day!

Or maybe not…
Local pond gator doin’ his thing. He’s started to get interested in my presence.
Here’s Wally out of the pond.
Pond gators (what I call the local boys) are quite common around my neighborhood – but they are still gators, wild and unpredictable. I give these guys plenty of room and there’s usually a nice escape route available for me. It also helps to have some type of gator barrier (short seawalls work best) between you and your friend. DO NOT stand along the same shoreline of a small pond or swamp area with gators – they are super quick and can actually “climb” small obstacles.
