Hard Rain

A couple of weeks ago a storm with heavy rains passed through my area. Here are some photos from that night.

Flash Flooding

For several days it rained in the New Orleans area. Because the ground was already saturated with water, many areas were flooding. Last Monday night this was the scene on my street.

Continuing through the Tropical Rain Forest

Here are some remaining shots of the Tropical Rain Forest. To see close ups go to my blog pic folio.

Tropical Rain Forest

Across from the Living Fossils is the Tropical Rain Forest. This section also has a waterfall. However, in this area there is a cave-like area for plants that do not receive as much light. There are oodles of bromeliads all over this place.

Windshield

These shots were taken while driving Saturday night. Just thought I'd see what the camera could do. Obviously it was raining. It was also cold and misty. These photos show you what inspired some paintings some years back.
