Northern Water Snake
Was asleep in the middle of the trail. An airdale had just walked right past it without comment. After taking pictures, I woke it up with a stick. After registering a complaint it slithered off beautifully. I have a vague sense that large snakes should be moved off public walkways so they aren't stepped on, or killed by phobics. Perhaps 3'.

rotten chipmunk log
Chipmunks everywhere today. Flooded out, presumably.

behind a leaf
Rabbits quickly adapted and learned how to use branches and leaves to defeat the autofocus systems of their pursuers.

a rabbit without focus
I couldn't bear to throw this one out, it's such a perfect beatrix potter pose.

frivolity
If you approach our cat with this foam, he runs straight under the bed, no questions asked. We've never bathed him, so it's either kitten trauma or instinct.

7200 lumens
I'm afraid I cackled maniacally after turning these on. Quite alarmed myself. It fills me with unreasonable glee. costs 1/3rd as much to operate, and 50% more light. Also, glee.
I can't help but think that I'm going to run well and truly amok if I ever own property.

If I ever buy property, remind me to look at maps of the watershed. We're right by a pond, but it only drains a small area, so the deluge isn't an issue. 5.5 inches of rain so far, and the brook has already crested. But even so, our local stream gauge is plenty exciting. Though I find the occasionally inverse relationship between discharge and height puzzling; that more water would make it run fast enough that the level would drop. It feels as though there must be some other factors involved in how fast the brook moves, but I'm at a loss to come up with them. Lots of geese swimming upstream? vegetation getting swept away? Fluctuations in the specific gravity of water?
