It rains all the time! Which is nice in one way, since we are on a well and therefore don't usually water much in July...so all the grass and flowers are still in bloom. But--well, rain is rain. And you know what that means. The beach sticker I finally broke down and bought hasn't done me much good. Your pictures are lovely, though! This has been the weirdest year EVER, here.

We're all dried up here. I'm losing my plantings as we speak (water restrictions plus 100+ degree temps for weeks). They say we should get some rain this fall but by the time that happens everything in the yard will be lost. Great image! Did you take it with the camera you told us about? I've got to get me one of those cameras!!! Have a wonderful day! Hi Caryn!

I find flowers amazing. And rainbows and butterflies too… Not forgetting streams and waterfalls, of course. We live in a beautiful world. :) <!--EndFragment-->
