Looking at myself.
There is a lot to see.
It has grown throughout.
Not that it became more interesting with time.
Not if you look at physical beauty.
Not if you look at character.
Not if you look at yourself.
Ended up pounding a metal post in next to the septic drain field. Higher than optimum but it is in a nice clear area. Held to the post with wire ties, but I can still take the cylinder out for reading and dumping. Can always tweak things. May have to attach spikes to the funnel part because my experience is that the birds like to sit on the things and clog them with droppings
Nice. Mine might end up a bit too close to the horse shelter or attached to a metal fence post if that looks firm enough

Same here in sou'Tx. Having the most glorious and long-awaited consistent rain - finally busting some of the drought!
Couldn't find a standing accessible rain gauge spot without plant or structure interference. Wiring to the fence was prone to wind movement and not sure where I'd want a permanent wooden post. So for now, I decided on stacking stumps from a tree removal. Wood mushrooms have grown and rocks have been filled in to level.

I think I will wait until it stops raining to install my new rain gauge

Not where I am. Sort of a Mediterranean climate with hot dry summers and cold wetter winters. But as someone said to me, "This is Australia. There is no normal." We can have over a decade of drought followed by enough rain to fill the reservoirs in a month then flood everything downstream. And the weather patterns seem to be shifting with global climate change.
Same here. We're in the midst of drought with no real relief in sight. We had exactly one week of winter this past season and it looks like an insanely hot summer on the way.

BTW, that Martin Short thing on Netflix is worth watching. Many things about his early years that I did not know and were pretty dang cool, like him hanging out with some unexpected movie star pals. I was a massive SCTV fan, of course, along with Harvard Lampoon, National Lampoon, and National Lampoon Radio Hour Half Hour. That was such a time.
