We really needed some rain out here in the hills west of Austin, and this evening we got it in Biblical amounts in a very short time. It ended just in time to take the dogs out back to play in the wet weather creek right behind the house:

This little waterfall cascades about 8′ into a shallow pool right behind our house (about 30′ from our back property line):
Angus stops to pose for a picture
I couldn’t get Otis to hold still long enough for a picture — old guy was running around a like a puppy playing in the creek and water holes.
We hiked up the canyon a bit but turned back before we got to the bigger falls (~15′ tall) because it was starting to rain again:

And from the back porch, a brilliant evening rainbow:

Can’t see it in this picture, but there was a double rainbow (another rainbow above this one) — simply spectacular. Which is why we love living out in the hill country so much.

Angus is such a ham. He is always ready and willing to strike a pose.
And don’t you have a fast speed on your camera for Otis action shots?
Anyway, does anyone else ever visit your waterfall? Does the creek have a name? If not, can you name it?

Rampant rain requests rollicking rascals.
Cascading currents confound contented canines.
I’ve seen double rainbows only once. It was in May a few miles west of College Station.
Great Dane pics ! (pun intended)
I assume they’ve seen snow a few times. Did they like it ?
I bet my little black cocker spaniel would have a ball playing with Angus and Otis.
Great pictures.
No, but they bit a real prick, today. (Just keep ice on it until the swelling goes down.)
For the sake of the hound dogs good health, I hope they didn’t draw blood.
So, tell us again why you call this “urban” grounds?
I just heard one of the producers and writers of Psych say that they try to put a Great Dane in every episode.
