This would be the view from my backyard. The rocks are the retaining wall at the end of my yard. We affectionately call the gully behind our house, "the pit". As in, "I will throw you in the pit!" or "If you don't clean up your toys, they will go in the pit!" You get the picture. Usually the pit is dry and kids play in it.
Today, there is a river running through it. It's okay, it's supposed to happen (or so I've been told.) The real name for the pit is the Tickville Wash (don't know how it is really spelled, but who cares) and it is for excess water drainage/run off. I've been told it fills up every few years or so. This is the first time we've seen it.
I'm a little freaked out, b/c it is pretty close to my house, but the water would have to rise a lot to get up here.
It's running pretty fast right now. It looks really dirty and gross, but the sound is gorgeous. Like my own private river...sort of :)
