when the rains came

After a night of rain this was the scene I discovered next morning. Even li'l Bear was wondering what had happened to his stomping ground











The next morning all that was left were muddy traces on the grass where the water once covered.

  2. That was a lot of rain, and the reflections were nice. I'm sure it did your gardens good.

  4. I hope the flood doesn't give you problems. There must be a heavy downpour for this to happen. Take care.

  5. Wow, quite interesting look. I did not realize than when we visited you, we were so lucky to photograph everything as it was - very lush, but without such unusual floods... (and when we visited Barbados last time in April - all was miserably dry!

    Happy to let you know that our book Exotic Gardens of the Eastern Caribbean featuring your lovely place among others is at last available and will be in stores in just a week or so.

  6. WHy Helen, you got yourself a new lily pond! ;D
    But that really must've been a lot of rain! I hate it when the grass gets all squelchy and mucky like that.

  8. I think I like your reflection pool best. I love how transient water is, it changes everything so much in a short time and then goes away.

  9. Oh, would that I could have even a fraction of all that water for my poor parched beds!

    I'm glad it didn't do any damage and that the 'pond' left quickly for you.
