I'm going to be out of town for a couple of days. For your entertainment and education, here are a couple more pictures from Hurricane Katrina. I don't do graphics very well at all, and it always takes me a while to get images cropped and size to appear correctly on this page, so I'm going to do it the easy way and just link to them.
These pictures show part of our front yard, first under normal conditions and then during Katrina. Unfortunately they aren't from exactly the same angle.
Here's the first one. This one was taken from a position in the driveway in front of the house, facing more or less due west. The second is taken from the front porch, three or four feet higher, ten or twelve feet further away, and facing more southwest. But you can orient yourself by the sycamore tree which is on the left in the first picture and on the upper right in the second. The swing would be just out of the frame, on the right.
When the water began to recede we found a couple of fish stranded in the yard. We threw them into deeper water and wished them luck.
That bush, all bent over, by the steps is a lemon tree. It actually bears fruit–more than we can use. There are some nice things about living in this climate. The thing in the corner of the fence with two or three big leaves is a banana tree. It doesn't bear but it looks cool, especially when it has more leaves than it did that year.
