they have a waterfall that has ben dry for months due to the drought

its not dry anymore,its amazing what 3.5 inches of rain in 4 hours will do











while i was there i caught a glimpse of a bobcat. no chance to get a picture he was running down the trail way ahead of me. but I did get a picture of his footprints in the mud

4. I routinely see bobcats when I'm at work

I take short walks outside to stay awake (I work all night) and see them frequently. One time a rabbit nearly slammed into me - I had interrupted a bobcat's dinner. And I work in a METROPLEX!!!

10. Good title for this album...

"Water Rushes Back and Life Returns".

Wonderful feeling to these photos--you can sense the delight of the flora and fauna at the ending of the deadening drought.

Hope Texas' years of desertification are over.
