OK Bruce is going nuts with pictures of drainage ditches ... but here is another first for me. While walking Buster before we left Bryan last week we went by the usual creek.

Then I went ... woah ... there is something gold and fishy in the ditch. Too early in the morning or too many wines the night before ... nope ... a real goldfish in the creek!

The night before we had had the most rain in the RV we have ever had and the huge downpour had evidently freed this guy from a home pond somewhere upstream and now he was free. Unfortunately for him the ditch is pretty seasonal and there is a large snapper turtle nearby so the life expectancy is not good ... but it was a real sight in a rural stream.
