This one is a little 'spooky'  looks like something out of a movie.  The Cadillac Ranch located in
Amarillo is an interesting sight to see even when it's not wet.

Oh my goodness, I do love that last shot!! The flooded fields and stranded cattle are sobering signs of the stresses of farming. Here, we are trying to prepare for drought this summer. Farmers in parts of British Columbia and across the Prairies are very worried.

The flooding is pretty scary but your state needed the water. I love the blue bonnets.

Thanks for stopping by and your kind comment.
