If I were doing Alphabet Soup with Karen I'd have to save this for "F" for FLOOD.

We had flood swollen creeks and rivers today. The sun came out and my friend and I
went hunting for photo opportunities. She lives on the Blanco River. Unfortunately
the photos do not show the power and you cannot hear the roar....this photo is of a
usually dry creek bed. It was really creepy standing on the bridge.

Nature always reminds us how powerful she is....

It's the speed of how quickly it can happen that's frightening. Great captures,Petesie. Stay dry !!

It does leave you a little in awe of nature, doesn't it. You sure can't take its power for granted.

I've heard about your flooding rains, Petesie. Keep safe.

You've really captured the energy of the flood waters well!

What a wonderful composition to capture the motion of the flood - very dynamic!

Impressive

I can surely feel it under my feet, yikes! And can smell the richness of muddy water. Excellent Peteise, just watch that 1st step!

I am afraid of rushing water like this! I think your photo contains much power and energy.

Thank goodness, no, not in our yard, although we had a lot of standing water. This was taken of a usually dry creek here in Wimberley.

I don't know where you shot this--your yard? I saw that Texas is flooding.Wonderful movement.
