The results of a thunder storm

I've been wishing for rain for over a week now and this morning we finally got it. It's been ages since I just lay and listened to a thunder storm - lovely.

The smaller pond is looking a little the worse for wear after the run-off from the clay soil caused lots of clay particles to be suspended in the water. The larger (more established) pond has cloudier water than normal, but fared much better because of the surrounding vegetation.
