Summer Rain

Okay, I'm not quite sure what is going on in these pictures. Today was a perfect summer rain. When I woke up this morning it was thundering in the distance. This went on for about an hour at least and the storm never sounded like it was getting any closer. Eventually it rained and it was that wonderful kind of rain where it just falls steadily for hours. I sat on the porch and listened to it. I got back in bed to read and listened to it. I even went upstairs and laid down on Sophie's old cushion and listened to it fall on the roof. It was glorious. It let up somewhat around two p.m. but has never gone below being anything less than a heavy spinkle which is what it's doing right now. Anyway, back to the photographs. I'm not sure what is going on with all the "bubbles". It was dark enough that the flash went off so maybe it's light reflecting off the raindrops. I'm also not sure why they are more bright in one picture and not the other. Who knows, maybe they're garden rain fairies...
