Lake Travis on Easter 2011

 

Lake Travis

 

 

Cold Mornings Over Sandy Creek

The mornings are getting cold cause the lake to fog up at first light. Very pretty but signalling the end of the growing season.

Found this old picture of the Mexican Plum in bloom. Hoping for a good showing this spring. The rains have come and should aid the spring flowers. Keeping my fingers crossed that we will have a good wild flower season. The forecast is for the rain keep up through winter, if it does then we will see a good show.

Lightning Over Lake Travis

First sign of rain - lightning .... Hopefully it will rain tonight :)

Travis Peaked at 702

Last week the lake finally peaked at 702. Here is a picture of the pasture below the house. The lower branches of the large oak trees were submerged. LCRA has opened four flood gates in order to reduce the lake level. The lake has been going down a foot a day for the past week. The lake level is currently at 689. More rain came today and there is more in the forecast for the beginning of the week. This maybe the weather pattern for the summer. I guess we'd best get used to it.
