Some rainy seasons get SO wet that -

The local kids looking at the way the last gully-washer changed the creek that runs behind our house - this is actually about 1/2 a kilometer downstream from our house --- see how rocky our soil is? Also note that whatever einstein designed the new bridge, actually created quite a fine dam!
This is a closeup of where the bridge joins the dirt road - looks to me that if someone doesn't do something, that bridge could end up being an island. I'm not kidding you, that truly was a bridge - is now an odd sort of ford.

And this shot is a closeup of how every little rock protects (at least long enough for a photo) the ground underneath it:

Despite the rain, interesting new bugs are appearing in the garden

& Our peach-colored Angel Trumpets (about a foot long) perfume the air.
