    Yikes, Brooke, I thought we were bad over here in Ireland with our lousy 'summer' but that's terrible. I hope they rebuild the bridge - it would be sad to see it gone forever.

    Ga, we had the one of the wettest Junes on record, around 11 inches. Three is normal. As for replacing the bridge, I doubt it. It wasn't used much, just by the locals mostly. It was more of a scenic cut through road these days. If they did manage to find money to replace it, it would be a modern concrete version.

    It's still raining. We've had around 5 inches already for July. Normal is 3-4 inches.

    Wow Brooke, those are quite the pics. I hope you are safe. We don't get much flooding where I live but we have gotten some terrible thunderstorms of late.

    Oh yes, DJ, I'm safe! I don't live near a river, thankfully!

    Goodness Brooke that is some amount of rain! I'm sorry about your bridge. I love little picturesque bridges. They have a character that cannot be replaced.

    Another beautiful piece of architectural history destroyed by Mother Nature. Damn. She is ruthless, isn't she? That looks like post-K flooding. *shudders*

    Glad to hear you are safe, Brooke!

    This is a picture of our Giant Springs State Park in MT. It feeds into the Missouri River and is a natural huge spring that is crystal clear.

    Couple of photos of me taken yesterday in front of the pond at the reunion.
