Storms and stuff

Yesterday afternoon we had a heavy storm. 62mm in 2 hours.
Driving home at 6 P.M. I saw paddocks covered in water.
Turning off the highway to Kentucky, the Kentucky Creek had burst it's banks and water was flowing down the hills to it still.
I went out and got these shots as soon as I was home.

flooded driveway
A feeder to Kentucky Creek passes through our neighbours property. This normally flows under her driveway. Yesterday it was over the driveway.

rear creek
There normally isn't water flowing down this courseway in the rear of our place.

Grass matted down during the storm.

flooded warren
The rain came down so quick, the rabbit warren holes were all filled with water. Hope the bunnies had their diving gear at the ready.

sunset
Another beautful sunset.


In sadder news, just two weeks after we lost Polo, one of our August born lambs, Boots, because of her blackfeet, was attacked and killed by something.
My neighbour suggested it might be a big feral cat he'd seen recently.
