The monsoons arrive
Rushing waters
The torrential rains, which, all too often this summer, have missed us, arrived on Labor Day and wiped out everybody's outdoor fun. In a slight break in the precipitation, I walked down to the millpond waterfall—the one that was barely a whisper a couple of days ago—to see if any dragonflies or birds were prowling the shallows. They weren't. The odonates, the birds, and the shallows are all gone. If drier weather returns, the water level might drop, and the creatures that made this area so much fun to explore might return. If the monsoon continues, I guess we'll just have to wait until next year.
