Photo Blogging Challenge (May 2015): Spring

May went by super fast! I had a hard time choosing my selections this month, so please go visit my Flickr page to see them all. This month's theme was Spring and we had plenty of it. Let's get going.

May kicked off with a Spring trip for the 7th graders to visit the Alamo in San Antonio. We took one of the famous river tours as well.

Spring is also time for Pack graduations. We have an annual Welcome to Webelos campout where the new Webelos come camp with the boy scout troop. It gives the scouts a chance to teach the younger scouts new skills and gives the cubs a taste of what we do in the troop.

Young William finished up the 7th grade. And he is quite popular with the ladies.WCS_Awards_9235

We had an abnormally wet May, we got rain 26 days in a row beating the previous record of 20 set sometime in the 50s. Many of our lakes are flooded but some are finally over half full, a level they have not seen since 2012. AfterStorm_1357

We wrapped up May with some sunny weather and a nice event for dogs out at the park. Rosie is quite photogenic. Feast4Beasts_9352

So there you have it. May...Spring. Like I said, I have more. Memorial Day saw the 10th Anniversary of our gathering of friends. There was dirt track racing. There was a birthday. And on and on. Take a look at the other entries as well over at a 'lil hoohaa. And join us next month.

Awesome stuff, Mike! Love the light spots and streaks in the first two photos. And your son is through seventh grade? Time flies. I think when I first started doing photo challenges with you, he was super young. Crazy. Nice work this month! Here's to a drier June for you!

After the crazy flooding here in June 2013, we monitored the May rainfall in Texas hoping you would get off without anything similar. Unfortunately we've seen photos of some extensive flooding, especially in the Houston area. That photo with the heavy grey clouds hanging above a sliver of sunset really captures the hope / foreboding that folks feel when floods threaten.

I still follow you on flickr, so know you're as busy as ever. Good to know it's possible to keep doing 365 projects, year after year...I just don't have the staying power!
