I've always enjoyed a good rainfall.
After weeks of above average temperatures and below average precipitation, the two downpours that came within a few days were very welcome.
Street-pounding, earth-drenching, flower-sparkling rain.
Everything looked happier: the bright blooms,
and the formerly-bloomed.
Clematises are one of my favourites...
and still have a certain geometric beauty after the rich, purple petals are spent.
The sun is shining again, and the flora at My Little Home and Garden is better for the preceding cloudbursts.
Thank you for your visit. If you leave a comment, I'll be sure to respond.
I'm linking with "Cottage Flora Thursday" over at Fishtail Cottage. Take a look!
The flowers and leaves are gorgeous with the rain drops on. They look so happy.

Hi Karen
ReplyDeleteLove all the raindrops you captured on the fantastic macro shots.
I'm so happy there was rain while we were gone, everything looks good.
We were at a cottage on Lake Huron at Grand Bend and had thunder storms several nights but lovely weather during the day. I could become a beach granny. :-)
