Spring flooding in Texas
We have had several weeks of rain this spring. Our drought is over, the lakes are full, and then rain keeps coming. We have had some flash floods as well as plain flooding.

Here is one from the West Fork of the Trinity River in Fort Worth. There should be a waterfall in this image but it is under the flood waters.

Here is another one of Bear Creek as it nears the Clear Fork / Lake Benbrook. It is normally a trickle or even dry but now it is several feet of water.

I was wondering what the West fork falls were like, I did think there might be a ripple at least. Thanks for posting. Hope things even out soon.

Kendall, the Bear Creek shot was with a solid ND filter to give me a longer exposure.  I was getting to 6-8 seconds which took the ripple out and gave it a better reflection.
