Two videos included here, one of the flood and one of a squirrel in the rain that form a part of this post. The first photo above is of a wet baby Robin!

We saw a strange habit of the birds here, as every now and then a break in the storm clouds will occur and the sun will appear. This creates a relief for the wet animals as they dry, clean and warm themselves. But who would bath if they were just sopping wet a short while ago?

Normally when I get wet in the rain, I simply dry myself and put dry clothes on. But the question is, would I bath in cold water just after the cold rain has wet me?
Let's have a look for an answer!

Have a look in the video above how a small placid stream turns into a torrent of rain water!

Oh Shame yeah, all little animals get soaking wet and food becomes scarce. Little squirry was soaked, but she came for some nuts.

This video will show you how squirry's husband copes with the rain.

I took this photo from my files to show you a dramatic cloud break!

What? Robin in the cold birdbath, after the rain has wet just some minutes ago?

Finally just another late view of a part of our mountains.

That's all Folks!

We should look to the animals to teach us. May we learn from the birds and the fish in the sea. What about the little bugs and insects? Let them speak to us to show us how to live.

And the skies with their message laden clouds? Plants, trees, flowers and herbs - give us a lesson on how we should live. What is that you say? Live free, with no worries about the troubles of the world. Being content with what we have, and returning to simply just living!

"We are free spirits. Admire us from the ground, or soar with us in the skies - but don't cage us in!" (Free Spirit).
