You're right there, Michele...
The weather is crazy all over the world.
We do get plenty of thunderstorms and very heavy downpours of rain. Therefore we still get short term flooding in certain areas.
However, even with those big rains, the land is hard and rain basically rolls right off... does not have a chance to sink into the soil to replenish it and the life it is struggling to maintain. What we would ned is soft steady rainfall for rather long periods of time.
Our farming community in particular is having a very hard time of it.
I yabber on too much... lol... sorry about that! :)
Warmest Wishes,
Aniko :)

A fantastic capture Michele!!!
Sad to hear you are experiencing flooding, whereas here in Australia we are begging for rain to overcome the long-standing drought of some 10 or so years!
You really did such a fine image here! Fabulous textures and tones.
Warm Wishes,
Aniko :)

Uhhhhhh . . . ok. Let's see. It looks like . . . uhhhhhh . . . Grass in water . . . NO, make that wet grass AND water . . . uhhhhhh.
Well Michele . . . you know me by now and I simply HAVE to be honest with you. You wouldn't want it any other way! And this shot is COOL! You can see the surface tension of the water at each grass entry point, perfect color . . . strong diagonal comp . . . Off-center interest points....... I think the ratings it has received say it all. It's supposed to look like wet grass . . . but it forces us to look at something which would be passed by many without a second glance . . . and see the inherent beauty in nature. You even managed to pull in a graduated reflective water surface from the top left to the bottom right corners. Excellent work Grasshopper! :)
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~
