The Deluge

Yesterday there was a deluge as a thunderstorm passed by to our north.  The rain was coming down in sheets.  I went out on the front porch, and discovered that the drain pipe was blocked, so water was pouring out of the gutter.  So I photographed the water overflowing - you can really only see it against the hickory tree.  I used a slow shutter speed so the water is blurred, instead of being frozen in mid air.  It is still difficult to see it.  What you can see is that in the background is how the trees are obscured because there is so much rain coming down.  In the foreground, in case you are curious, is a Cosanti bell which I bought in Arizona some years ago.
