Rain is grace; rain is the sky descending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life – John Updike
Apple blossoms in the rain – how beautiful is that?

On the blue theme: Mountain Bluet.
Rhododendron kissed with rain drops.
I caught this rainbow slipping down a slide area on the mountain across the lake.

Many thanks for spreading the word on this rainy garden 🙂
Fantastically beautiful! Would love to see this place “in person” someday. 😊
Thanks for the appreciation, Mark. You wouldn’t be the first person met through WordPress who visited 🙂
Joy in these shots…thanks
You captured the emotion perfectly, Cynthia. It was joy to wander in the rainy garden and snap the photos.
Beautiful photos. You must be delighted to have Crater Lake #4 done. Can’t find my copy of Disappearing … so bought it and the new one on Kindle. Going to read them straight through.
Thanks, Jane and a big yes on the done writing book #4 point 🙂 Your dedication as a fan is heartwarming. Many, many thanks. Enjoy.
