Love That Muddy Water

Everyone talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it.

The lovely brook behind our house turns into a swirling river of mud whenever it rains a lot. We've had massive thunderstorms and steady rain on and off for days. I took a moment yesterday when it wasn't raining to try to capture nature the power and beauty of the rising column of muddy water as it cascades over rocks and buries most of the brook's structure.

The brook has returned to near normal but is still running high. The sun is out. The sky is blue. It's beautiful.

I've always wanted to live near a brook -- I loved it when we visited, but it's way more turbulent in these photos.
