Rain

We've had a drought this year but now the rains have finally arrived.
I've really missed my ginger lilies, elephant ears, and banana trees leafing out in all their green goodness.
They always tell when me when it's summer time.

Terrific composition and color with a very contemplative feel. It makes me think of a simple Japanese garden.

AH, I have an exceptional camera and editing program, Picasa, and I know how to use it.

Madge, zactly, the smell of falling rain, there's nothing like it.

bfarr, we put up this screen door at the beginning of the summer. I adore it, it's like bringing the indoors in without all the flying critters.

bc, especially when it's hot.

SC, we went without it for ever so long.

BC, thanks, you read my mind.

Love the "feel" of this photo, particularly since we have been denied the rains for so long. Wonderful shot and perspective, mon amie

Bises,
