A River Runs Through it...

[Lord Loser]

No... not the film, my front yard. You see, we've had a bit of a wet spell around here for about the last month and a half. It's been raining nearly every day, and this morning when I looked at the totals, it was around 8.2 inches. Well, today, we got hit by a little shower that put down over an inch in, well, it's been about 3 hours, and it's still raining.

Since the ground is already saturated, and the creeks were already running near the tops of their banks, most of this water has been cascading off the mountains, and since I live in the lowest part of the area, or mouth of the canyon if you prefer, I've got a nice stream running through my front yard right now. The creek can't take any more water in the natural channel, so now instead of being 3 feet wide, it's about 60 feet wide, and it's slowly approaching my front step. Really quite a sight to behold, because the natural channel right here is a couple feet deep. I can't say I've ever seen this kinda water around 'ere before.

Now before you people from the wet climes, start rolling your eyes and scoffing about 10 inches of precip in a month and a half, I've got to point out...

I LIVE IN THE DESERT

We get between 8 and 12 inches of precip ANNUALLY. Now, it's come in a 45 day period. Don't get me wrong, we cacti do love a little water, but we just don't know what to do with this much. It's, it's... really something...

[Lord Loser]

Are the cattle OK? :eek:Bahhh... they're fine... just wet. :D


Hey... what happened to your sig?

[who45]

I'm not so much worried about the swimming trunks as I am about him losing his contact(s)

[Lord Loser]

[BrowderChick]

Hmmm..... keep getting told that its supposed to rain here but havent seen it yet. :lol Well at least I know where it all is. :P

[Lord Loser]

[Lord Loser]

[BrowderChick]

:rollin:

[Lord Loser]

Now if there were just some whales tails sticking out of the water, that'd be worth taking pictures of...

:innocent:

[Kathleen]

do you prefer the light, white whale tails, or do you prefer those that have no whale sun lines?

[La Bomba]

:lech:

[who45]

omg LB :rollin:

[Lord Loser]

do you prefer the light, white whale tails, or do you prefer those that have no whale sun lines?variety is the spice of life...

[Kathleen]

variety is the spice of life...

Sooooo.. what yer saying is that a whale with a lilly white tail could rub some of that Coppertone tanning stuff on to darken it up, and it'd be all good? ;)

[Lord Loser]

I'm just saying that whales tails are individual and unique. Each one has it's own appeal... :ewink:

[Kathleen]

:rollin:

You should be spanked... you're such a baaaaad boy!!! :ewink:

[BrowderChick]

[Lord Loser]

So you're saying her face isn't as cute and innocent as the puppy?

You're right.. it's better! :D (That *is* what you were thinking, riiiiight?)I was thinking...

Puppy = innocent
BC = not innocent
therefore
BC <> puppy...

[BrowderChick]

I am innocent. I swear. :D

[BrowderChick]

LL = not innocent :yes:

[La Bomba]

I was thinking...

Puppy = innocent
BC = not innocent
therefore
BC <> puppy...
Hmmmm... I don't know, BC. I double-checked the formula. Numbers don't lie. :D

[Lord Loser]

Hmmmm... I don't know, BC. I double-checked the formula. Numbers don't lie. :D:yes:

[BrowderChick]

Numbers? I didnt see any numbers. :eek:

[Milaya]

[kechara420]

[La Bomba]

Just a sec... let me consult with La Bomba... :whisper:

[Col.Batguano]

LL - I take it you don't have a Camera - I would like to see pictures of a flood in the desert, (it may be boring to others but I think it's fascinating stuff) - hope your home is OK.

also LL
I've heard of animal life that only pops up during desert rain downpours and then hibernate the rest of the time.
have you seen any of it?

[Lord Loser]

sorry to put the thread back on track, but...
LL - I take it you don't have a Camera - I would like to see pictures of a flood in the desert, (it may be boring to others but I think it's fascinating stuff) - hope your home is OK.Yeah, I've got a camera. I just didn't grab it yesterday, or today... it's up to my folks.

As for the desert, we're a desert in classification only. It's more correctly called the cold desert, meaning that we only get 8 - 12 inches annual precip and it snows. Not like southern Nevada or Utah. We don't have vast sand dunes or anything like that. Just sagebrush and such. In fact, everything's kinda lush and green right now, what with all the water.

My home's fine, never was in any danger really. It was just interesting to watch the water run by...

[La Bomba]

:eek:
..isn't there supposed to be an r.e.i after that?Judges?...
No, not a true r.e.i.. Sorry scrape. Thanks for playing. Here are some lovely parting gifts. :D

[scrape_medic]

I am on to something though...hmmmm

[La Bomba]

:innocent:

[Lord Loser]

I'd say you're off something. Like your rocker... :P

[scrape_medic]

trying to throw me off the scent huh....:P

[Lord Loser]

If you're looking to follow scents, I'd stay away from mine. I had cabbage soup yesterday... just sayin...

[scrape_medic]

TMI..........:eek: (with or without an r.e.i.)









ooh now there's an idea for a little photoshopping.:D

[Lord Loser]

My front yard tonight...


Damn, had to resize, hope it doesn't pixelate out...

[who45]

oooo pretty mountains in the back.

[Lord Loser]

just a plane ride away... :lech:


:P

[who45]

Walked right into that one didn't I. :ewink:

[Lord Loser]

;)

[BrowderChick]

Those mountains are so beautiful. :yes:

And everything is lush and green......

[scrape_medic]

That dessert looks greener than Ol' Blighty!!

[Col.Batguano]

I'd be out playing in that. that is cool.
You have one kick ass view.
I want to climb those mountains.

I live on an incline on top of a hill so I don't have rivers forming in my yard, I would be playing in that, that is cool.

[Lord Loser]

nope... that is COLD!

See those snowcaps up there? That's where it's coming from...

[scrape_medic]

There is one thing though.....there seems to be a complete lack of coos

[Lord Loser]

yeah... there is that. Can't have everything, ya know...

[La Bomba]

That dessert looks greener than Ol' Blighty!!
You eating mint ice cream, scrape? :D

[scrape_medic]

I am only surprised LL didn't pick up on that one..:yes:

[Lord Loser]

I did. I tried to find a picture of lime jello, but my connection kinda fritzed out so I abandoned the search...

[Frunium Slip]

[que music]I've been through the desert (or dessert depending on your preference) on a horse with no name, it was good to be in all that rain... [/un que music]

and green ice cream? hope it was like lime sherbert, or something, otherwise... ewwwwww...

[scrape_medic]

mint frun...mint ice cream.....yum yum

[Lord Loser]

isn't that like catnip?

Mister? is that you again?

[mister the cat]

Has she been at my cat nip again? MEEEEOOOOWWWW!

[Lord Loser]

nice try... I know you've been logged on as scrape again.

I knew she went to sleep already...

[mister the cat]

damn you found me out....hey you still got that cute little dog there LL?

[Col.Batguano]

nope... that is COLD!

See those snowcaps up there? That's where it's coming from...
thanks for the pics LL
(even if it is ice cold I'd probably be playing in it - and regretting it later)

here is where I am at - this is the back yard I get to see everyday.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/slatster/012.jpg
and there’s the view from the pond (yes the surface area is lake size but it’s not that deep so it’s a pond). that's the house I live in.

I do have better pictures but I’m submitting quite a few for publication and gallery shows so I can’t display my best ones. :(
yet.

just a thanks for your pics and to show you another view of the USA.

Southern New Hampshire

[Lord Loser]

No sweat Col.

I don't think much of the view, I guess. It's just something that I've seen all my life so it's nothing special to me, only a mountain. :shrug:

Thanks for your pics. It's a different part of the world for certain...

[Lord Loser]

damn you found me out....hey you still got that cute little dog there LL?yep. I think you two would get along well. Lately she's been catching and eating lot's of moles. Oh the stories you two could tell...

[Kathleen]

beautiful pictures, LL *and* ColBat!!!!!

as for the cat talk... :g2f: I love my cat, but I'm a dog person, through and through..
