Like many living in the Northeast United States, we experienced heavy rain on Sunday and part of Monday. As a result, there was flooding in low lying areas, including the park where spouse and I sometimes watch for sunsets.
Here are some photos from my lunchtime Monday, when we walked to the park.
The rain had stopped and park was just starting to flood. The water reflected the sky and the trees.
A farewell before I had to return to work.
After I got out of work, we returned to the park but couldn't get in. It was completely under water, so we walked to an area several blocks away where we could get a glimpse at the park with no building blocking the view.
This was the sunset we saw. Just one picture.
To all Skywatchers who celebrate, I wish you a Merry Christmas.

ReplyDeleteThat was quite a storm. Atlantic Canada is still cleaning up.
ReplyDeleteOh my …that flooding is nasty
ReplyDeleteWe had two dreary rainy days too. As much as I hated the rain, I was glad that amount of moisture hadn't been snow.
ReplyDeleteStay dry!! Your one sky photo is wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteYow! Now THAT'S a puddle!
ReplyDeleteIf you want, we would not take it amiss if you were to send some of that rain our way!
Thank you for the Christmas wishes! And many happy returns to you, my friend!
Reflections in the water (of trees, clouds) are always intriguing !
ReplyDeleteFloods can be so devasting but it's always intriguing to see where the water goes when it rises. Thanks for the pics
ReplyDeleteThe rain must have been pouring down
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sky. Wow, that is an epic puddle! Have a very Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteTerrible flooding. At least it was a park. Our local park will close when it rains (even a little) as it floods, but nothing to that extent.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a lot of water. Stay dry. And thank you for the sunset picture. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAwesome sunset photo and water photos too ~ Merry Christmas to you ^_^

That park certainly has its problems with flooding every year. Lovely photos, and I do love reflections!
