There is a flash flood alert in effect this morning, although our specific area hasn’t had heavy rain since Friday afternoon. We have heard thunder at a distance within the past few minutes, but nothing close to us. So far.
On the positive side, the heavy cloud cover creates very rich colors, which prompted me to take my camera out into the back yard during a break in the ongoing drizzle.
The mango trees are about 80 years old, give or take a few years. One was planted when my older sister was born, the other when I was born. The smaller tree, a white Bombay Pirie on the left when viewed from the deck, is Bonnie’s tree. “My” tree, the larger Haden, is on the right.
