Higher Ground

 

It rained about six inches in the past three days!

The ground is saturated, the valleys are flooded, the creeks are roaring, and storm drains are overflowing into the streets.

Animals are moving to higher ground.

This morning, as the sun warmed the earth, I found two turtles walking along the side of the road, where the overflowing storm drains had created a stream along the curb.

They both made their way up the street, up stream, and then into the woods that lead up the mountain.

I am sure they are not the only ones moving to higher ground today,

just the slowest and therefore the easiest to spot!
