The Up Side of Too Much Rain!


It's cold, it's wet ...
Rain coats the garden flowers in jeweled beauty ...

(Click on pictures to enlarge)


Raindrops on the green plants reflect even more surrounding beauty ...


The lupine beside the road becomes encrusted in nature's diamonds ... and even more reflections!


I have been complaining about the rain ...
Shame on me!!!

  1. Oh my goodness Clytie, these are amazing! I wish we would get some rain. It has been so dry that I even have a raccoon drinking out of my backyard birdbaths!

  2. We had weeks of rain. And now it is hot. Some humidity. It has made things lush with growth. I am stunned at the leaves on my oak tree.

    Your photos are nice considering the rain you got.

    I liked your comment about your encounter with the hummingbirds.

  3. Great photos, definitely rainy! I have to admit, I was happy to see some Colorado sunshine after a week in Seattle and Vancouver. But the Pacific Northwest is uniquely beautiful, even in the rain and grey.

  4. Ooooh...you only get better, Sissie. These are amazing. I especially loved the one with the star leaves of the lupine reflected on the drop. I am just amazed by these photos. You are incredible, Sissy!

  5. these photos are magical. Try as I might, I cannot get good results with raindrops. perhaps one day. I discovered some wild lupines along the roadside recently, and I think their one of nature's finest. I love now their leaves hold raindrops. that last photo is extraordinary.

  8. Nice shots. :-)

    I'll continue to complain, because along with the beautiful droplets that sit on leaves and grass, also comes the early demise of my flowers. lol

    Today is gorgeous and sunny. Tomorrow is supposed to be even better. I won't look beyond that......lol
