gazing through the blinds past the raindrop streaked window
my street swelled to a rushing river down a concrete hill
grasping at any hope amid tear filled eyes
the gracious web fluttered in the wind
yet still holding on ... as will I
we received eight inches of rain in a matter of hours from Tropical storm Hermine
our family room took in some of the rain . we are wet but safe

thankful you are safe, and hope the wet in the family room is not too serious.

Love the web photos so much.

It's interesting how something so beautiful such as rain can also be a threat. The power of nature is astounding.

happy yo all are safe. The storm certainly left some beauty behind glad you shared it with us.
Holding on, still holding on... We must always hold on. :o) So very glad you & yours weathered the storm safely. What beautiful, lush photos while the rain lingered... Happy Weekend, Elk--and thank you for the get-well wishes! ((HUGS))
With that much rain you were fortunate to have just one leak ... glad you could stay safe and dry inside.
I'm glad you are all safe. Our son and his family missed the storm as they are up here visiting. I love the web photos. It's amazing how they stand up through all kinds of weather.
Wow, glad you are all safe and that you made lemonade (these beautiful photos) out of lemons (the storm).
Oh my, Hermine invaded?! Those are scary times...I remember being in a tropical storm in Florida one September and having the water slip in under the cinderblock walls.
Glad you hung on and found these beautiful pictures.
Have a great weekend, ELK.
Spiderwebs - especially bedecked in diamonds, are always extraordinary. Very pleased to hear that you safe and sound - if somewhat damp around the edges...
I'm glad you're safe.
And I love that cob-web!
In PA, we've had a season of drought- less than an inch over the past 2 months! Not a great year to start a small organic farm without irrigation! I look forward to catching up as the season nears its end...
So glad you escpaed unharmed from the storm...and those photos are divine!
We were very fortunate in our neck of the woods to have escaped from Hurricane Earl...
glad you're ok after her-mean
that's one tough spider web too
Oh my goodness my friend...so happy you are safe and sound...stay cozy. xoxoxo
Wet but safe - thank God. Lots of damage?
Gorgeous!
:)
I am very glad you are safe.
I love the raindrops on the spiderweb! It just amazes me how strong their webs are.
Fantastic rain-soaked images. Glad to hear you survived..albeit just a little worse for wear!!
That's a lot of rain. I'm glad you're safe. Amazing photos!
so glad to hear you are safe...scary! your spider web photo is a testament to strength during adversity...
So pleased to hear that you're safe! And still able to see the beauty around you... thank you for sharing it. Stay safe xx
I just love the jewelry of the spider web. Beautiful.
exquisite images as always :o)
Beautiful photos. Hope you are drying out.
Your raindrops are beautiful here as they show off the spiderweb and leaves. Like a gazing ball you see the world in such a special light. roxanne
I'm so glad you are safe. Wish we could have taken some of that rain off of your hands. We could have used a little in these parts.
these are amazing images, shows the tiniest as part of the whole weave.
i love water but hope it stays where it belongs--so sorry you got water in your house! We were blessed Hurricaine Earl went out softly...
Oh dear, I hope that you are high and dry now and that no permanent damage was done. It is always such a mess to clean up after something like that.
Your photos are beautiful though, that last one is breathtaking.
Your beauty always shines through.
sorry you hve that to deal with... glad you are safe w/o a ton of damage. the web-beautifulbeautiful.beautiful.
