from heavy rain

Ah, Springtime!!! Green grass and flowers and rain...
The Bradford Pear started to flower today. A few hours later, it also dropped half its blossoms during s Severe Thunder Storm to pass through. This tree does not normally grow next to a stream. However, the rain was so heavy that our back yard flooded with several quick running streams like the one in this photo.
