Wet, but sunny again!

One of the things I love about Florida - just seconds after the rain abated, the sun shines through...

Apres la pluie le beau temps.

Sorry I missed your bottlebrush of a few days ago, of course it is native from Australia and I have a big one in my garden. Love them.

That's why we call it "liquid sunshine" in Florida...

I love the odor outside after a rain. Some great fragrances get released. I hope you get lots of rain this season-as I hear there is a major drought-but no hurricances.

So "Barry" was not too bad? Good! The garden really looks nice after this "freshening up"!

I hope you get lots like Barry this year, rain but no destruction.

Sun, after rain, it's even more shining. A very beautiful photo of a very beatiful place.

I am glad you all got the rain. We can still use rain but Nature is being stingy with it. Your photograph is really wonderful.

Love the photo - the mist to the right. And the quotation.

My mama always taught me to appreciate the rain.

And the sandy soil sucks the water away. When I was growing up in Louisiana, you might not get to play in the yard for days after a hard rain. Down here, you can get out and do stuff.

A very inviting path in the photo.
