Raindrops

Today it is all out raining.  The tear-shaped drops race to the wet floor of my back deck.  Splash!  Splash!  Splashsplashsplash!

Droplets hang from tree branches like glass baubles.  The trees seem to be melting, growing more brilliant in color as they do.

The sky is a blank haze behind it all--a backdrop for this blending picture.  The chairs, the wood, the grass, the trees--all becoming one in the uniform covering of rain.

Rain.

Rain.



Rain.

  2. I wouldn't call it rain - it's more of a deluge! A few degrees colder and we'd be seeing a blizzard.

  4. It was snowing here today in north central KY. Didn't stick though, as it hovered above freezing all day. Not too upset about that. :)
    Happy weekend,
