Waterfront Property from Tropical Storm

This is the highest water we've experienced in our 35 yrs in CNY!  From my kitchen windows we can see where Big Brook is across the road for the first time in our lives here. 

DISMAL all day long - difficult for this gal who lives for and thrives on sunshine.

When the rain subsided a wee bit I got out to take some photos.  Too bad I couldn't take more but it got dark too quickly.

Our quiet little stream between the house and barn.  This stream is seasonal and is usually dry most of the summer and fall months.

 The bottom end of that quiet stream where it enters Big Brook below the house, barn and hangar. 

Big Brook is living up to her name



Normally this bridge is 6 feet above the water.

Amazingly it hasn't carried away my footbridge - yet.  The ground has washed away from under the far end and it still holds - hallelujah!


Vic and the Jeep came to my rescue as the rain began to pick up again.  We checked things out further.  It's well past 7pm here and, finally, there is not enough light to continue shooting.
It's 8pm and we've had an official 3.64" of rain since midnight.  It continues to rain.

  1. Hi Paula, Having been to the farm, I'm in awe of how differently the landscape looks in the midst of that rain we had! UNbelievable! Jeez, we were crossing that creek with little trouble. I hope you faired well with it all. Very nice photographs! Say hi to Vic! The Jeep Happens Guy ;)
