Take a moment after a summer’s rain to step out into the garden
Close your eyes and take a deep breath
Imagine what you will see
Beauty? Perfection? Exquisiteness?

The Consequences of a Summer Rain
Diamonds on the grass
Pearls on the leaves
Rainbows dancing – birds engaged in a cacophony of song
Air so thick and hot as you breath it in it takes your breath away
Unexpected rain storms
Gaia cleansing in summer downpours
Rain in the Garden
The gentle rhythmic tapping of the rain throughout the night brought about an anticipation of what I would find once I walked through the door and into the garden
Droplets of rain coated every leaf, every bud
The closer I got, the more the water revealed
A Starbucks Kinda Morning
 {#} Gardens fine, no trees down, a dozen shingles gone
{#} Power on at home but none at work
{#} No communication networks working at home or work
{#} The car radio my only connection to the greater world
So here I sit, Saturday morning, Starbucks my savior, wait, did I actually say that? Truth be told, here I am. My camera didn’t sit idle, this past week. Tuesday morning I walked the gardens in the passing rain and wind, and later drove the neighborhood loop. I could post photos of downed trees and homes engulfed by pine boughs but what caught my eye were the vibrant colors that blanketed the ground.
So to all who frequently stop by thank you and please forgive my non-responsive nature.
Rainy Days and Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays . . .
Yet another raindrop,
Yet another leaf,
Yet another deluge
Yet another tendril
Yet another view
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I find rain beautiful!
