Sunday Raindrops in the Garden

Rained all night, a few thunderstorms, and still a light rain falls. Not complaining at all. A nice slow rain is needed this time of year for the yard and garden. Snapped this pansy photo in between showers. The blooms all seem happy covered in rain. Butterflies and hummingbirds as well are enjoying the rain. Brendel and the Dude are snoozing in the screen room as the rain falls on the metal roof. Nature keeps me going. I enjoy it every day, no matter the weather.

I'm like you, I absolutely love nature. It's always been my "go-to" when I need some peace, quiet, tranquility or just to get my mind off things.

@CarolDM It's a great escapism from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

@CarolDM Once in a while they are nice so long as they do not produce flooding.

I really like that shot. Hopefully you got a nice day of slow rain. I'm back to doing rain dances especially for those areas in CA that are fighting wildfires.

Glad you're getting a slow rain. The fires scare me because one wrong directional wind could blow it into my area, I wouldn't like that at all.

@CarolDM — once I left Columbus things were better. No rain at all from Cincinnati on down. Needless to say, we were rained out.

It looks like your pansy is loving the rain. Mother Nature is amazing. She gives us something to marvel at everyday.
