February 12 flood at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. 2005

These are the photos that I lost my little Nikon Coolpix 2100 for. I tried to keep him dry, but with all the rain and wet wasn't very successful I guess. For my next camera, a Nikon Coolpix 4100 I was more careful and bought a waterproof case.

Last Spring was one of the most amazing in AZ for a many years. You got great pictures of the rains that made it possible.

Wow, what a series! The water was really high, isn't the creek a good 15 ft below the catwalk?
