After The Rain

September 22, 2009 @ 20:50 By Gavin Webber 3 Comments

Finally, it has started to rain a bit in our neck of the woods.  It rained so much overnight that the soil is moist down to about 30cm.  It has been so long since we had a decent down pour that it brought joy to my heart and I had to take a movie of what it looked like after the rain and around our house and some of the eco features that you may have only seen in photos.
I don’t think the screen ratio is right, but will have to fix it up in the next video that I post.  It was good to use a video camera I picked up for $218, that can do High Def, so you will so a few more tutorials on the blog.  Instead of pictures, there will be video “how to..”
Enjoy.

    Sincere thank yous, great to see how it is all set out.

    Hope you get heaps of rain, I’m sure the pool is a welcome place for the humans over Summer.

    Great to see around your place Gavin, thanks for the video! Like Linda I am envious of your rain, it’s so dry in the Illawarra although we had a few mil last night. We have woken to the most extraordinary and worrying red dust this morning, check out images of Sydney online.
