Hi Tina,
All the photos have been taken at the inlet of the culvert (facing upstream). I agree the water appears to be ponding in the photo James sent.
I’ve also attached two photos I snapped this afternoon that show the ditch to be dry. However, in observance the soils appear to be damp and we have not watered that location since 7/7/2015. The definitely is other influences of ground water at this location.
I will continue to monitor this location and take photos every few days to the best of my ability.

Thanks, Jen- If you can tell which way the water flows in that little culvert please let me know. Although it appears mostly to just be standing water, the angle of the land makes it appear that any water would be running out of the pipe and into the field, not vice versa.
