After the "Frog Strangler"
Lens: DFA 28-105 Camera: K-1 Photo Location: Lake Jackson, TX

The natives of our area call the heavy, tropical-type rains that we experience "Frog Stranglers". Yesterday, we had a hum dinger! Here are a couple of evening shots of the sky clearing.

"Frog Stranglers".

"Goat Floaters," in my neck of the woods... A mixed blessing to be sure, but at least with the minimal gradient on the Coastal Plain, water goes nowhere fast.

Great colors. Nicely done. We get our share of frog stranglers here in the pacific northwest during winter. Always nice to get a break from the rain.

Same here - we live about 20 feet above sea level, so water is not particularly disposed to disappear quickly. Fortunately, we live in a relatively high spot, so we only experience very short-term street flooding, which dissipates within a few minutes after the rain abates.

Thanks very much for the kind words. We've had a generally beautiful, warm and sunny winter - punctuated biweekly by heavy rains that last a few hours.
