After a recent, refreshing rain, the setting sun turned the sky into a glowing gold more precious than any metal that can bought or sold. #rain #sunset #gold #glow

Blooms and Rain
Distant, autumn-blooming trees were glorified by the background gloom of an approaching storm. A short time later it began to rain. Both the blossoms and the rain were gratefully welcomed. They were more examples of the many things seen every day that make me say, “Oh, wow!” #blooms #autumn #rain #storm #wow
Well-mannered Weather
Tropical storm Imelda is located off the east coast of Florida and sending bands of gentle rain clouds our direction. We are far enough away to avoid the strong winds and storms of the soon-to-be hurricane, but close enough to reap the rewards of much needed precipitation that it brings. In Goldilocks terms, the weatherContinue reading “Well-mannered Weather”
Rain Ration
It’s been a dry year; even during the rainy season we have had only one or two days with any measurable precipitation per month. This day we received just enough of nature’s rain ration to dampen the driveway and yard, but not enough to register in the rain gauge, let alone satiate the thirsty Earth.Continue reading “Rain Ration”
Calm Between Storms
Rain poured from the skies, Florida’s version of a tsunami, as we dashed from our car and then splashed through ankle-deep water at the threshold of the restaurant. By the time we finished dinner, the rain had abated, leaving this rainbow as a consolation prize for our soggy shoes. The rain was gone for theContinue reading “Calm Between Storms”
Capricious Crescent
Venus and an impish, grinning Moon in the twilight sky tried to entice us to head out on our early morning walk; never mind the clouds that covered the rest of the sky. But then a distant flash of lightning followed seconds later by a low rumble warned of an approaching storm. We returned toContinue reading “Capricious Crescent”
Fire in the Sky
Clouds and showers alternating with fleeting sunshine dampened the day until sunset. As the sun lowered towards the horizon it set the clouds ablaze in a way that made me think of the glowing lava flows that built this island eons ago. I could not help but wonder that such a hellish beginning could leadContinue reading “Fire in the Sky”
Blessing of the Curse
It seemed at first as if we had been cursed with rainy weather as we rode along on our circle tour of the island of Tahiti. However, the rain that had sodden our clothes had also intensified the waterfall and sprouted more along our course of travel. It seemed that the spirts of the cloudsContinue reading “Blessing of the Curse”
Rain Dew
Light rain fell during the night, and morning dew increased the amount of water clinging to this plumeria to produce what I am calling “rain dew.” #rain #dew #morning #night #plumeria
Rain’s Return
It has been a dry year so far, and when sprinkles fell recently, we hoped that they would prime the pump to get the rain machine running again. The sprinkles turned to showers and then into a downpour, and we got nearly an inch of rain in a short time. The next day more showersContinue reading “Rain’s Return”
