The "falls"

Last week it rained heavily on and off for a day or two. It was still raining when I took these pictures. That explains the watery look caused by rain on the lens. I think it makes the pictures even better.

They show water flowing over the large tree root from under which the spring emerges when it hasn't been raining. The lower picture is from a bit lower. Along the length of the stream, starting at the spring, and before it levels out into a year-around damp area, there are a series of small pools. I am enlarging them a little at a time. This whole series of ponds, as well as the spring, will be visible from the west end of the house.

Usually the water flows under my little dams. After it rains, though, it just gushes over them.
