Bayous
While visiting Texas I took a few walks with Samantha and Jackson in the local Bayous - these are designed for a place for all of the potential flooding to drain. They are everywhere and have tons of wildlife! While I was there I was actually able to witness these Bayous become completely flooded and let me tell you it was insane! Sadly I was unable to get an after photo because I didn't want to get my camera wet but, I have to say, it was really awesome and a bit scary. To see what can happen when the Houston area floods was pretty remarkable.

The floods, they bring all kinds that lay low... to high ground. Such as turtles, frogs, fish, and snakes, The water was intense; about a strong foot in 48 hours. Although it was only rain water, a certain nasty film was created because the waters sat 10 - 12 feat above normal flood height for days. When the water finally receded, a dank stench was in the air, and the ground lay stained and disrupted. It was kind of fun, probably because Lily was there.
