Needing fresh air and exercise, we took a family walk along the creek. We were also curious to see how the recent rainfall affected the creek’s water level. A month ago, the sound was a steady, tranquil trickle of water; now it’s a gurgling, rushing sound.

In the first left picture below, I walked down close to the dirt and rocky creek to get a closer look of that tree branch nook; the dark half moon shaped by the branches. That was in February. Yesterday I could only take the picture from afar. It’s the same place; check out the water difference!

All the rocks under the fallen tree trunk are not visible anymore. We were amazed at the difference; can’t remember when we saw this creek with rushing water. Feeling thankful and in awe of nature!
