Swamp Still Full, Dog Ecstatic

Fay filled the swamp, but it’s been a week now, so time to check. Why yes, the swamp is still full, and the dog is ecstatic?

How do you tell when a 100 pound Rotweiller is ecstatic? When she turns into an alligator.

The water is down a couple of inches as you can see by the watermarks, but it’s still pretty full.

Cypress Swamp: Dry, Filling….

Here’s a dry cypress swamp, with human for scale (hi Clayton):

That was on Monday 18 August. Here’s the same swamp on Saturday, 23 August, after 4 inches of rain from tropical storm Fay, this time with human and dog for scale:

Fay dropped 5 more inches of rain on the swamp since then. Stay tuned to see if the dog can swim.
