Peace Out 2011

Out To Dry

The Greater Binghamton area is drying out after the devastating floods as is Kermit after spending some time in the flood waters.  The next photos show just a very small amount of the devastation that was widespread in our area.  

Down Came the Rain

My dog surveying the flooding.  

Note the stop sign at the end of what used to be the street to gauge the height of the water.

Water Water Everywhere

A whole lot of rain in Binghamton...

has caused the normally suburban houses to turn into lakeside property.  

None of the pictured water is supposed to be there.

(photo taken with cell phone and photoshopped due to houses also being prime target for theft of real camera -
though now having to escape by boat should be a deterrent)

Duck Derby

2011 Duck Derby to benefit the Broome County Humane Society.  The ducks are dropped in the river and supposed to stay between some barriers as they float to the finish line - but there were some issues and the ducks got away.  Luckily there were several Duck Wranglers on hand.

2011 July Fest

One of the artists at Binghamton's July Fest.   

July Fest has many artists showing their work as well as a jazz music throughout the day.
