It looked like God uncorked his bladder all over my back yard this morning. The mud puddles were six inches deep or more in places, enough so to muffle the patter of rain drops hitting them. It seemed like a scene that would have made for some interesting photos, but nothing really turned out well for all my trudging around. The good news is there were a couple of photos of Sophie remaining from a few days ago when I was trying to give my camera a conniption. I appear to have succeeded. These are not retouched at all other than to resize them for the web. Click for larger, more detailed versions (recommended, particularly for the second one):
