Raindrops on leaves – most magical green – saturated colors that excite.

Crepe myrtle leaves dripping with rain.

Flowering dogwood with bursts of green and red.

A rather rare occurrence here in Northeast Florida in early June – a long steady rain. After an extremely dry late winter and spring, rain has returned in a big way. Afternoon thunderstorms fill once dry ponds and bogs and gardens brim with life and color.

Bald cypress branches hang low with wetness – maidenhair ferns pop with color and a chubby garden bird delights.

Even the old boy himself can tolerate the rain…

…for a little bit at least.

Pirate “enjoying” the rain. ^.^

And a blast of the most unnatural pink you’ll ever see!

My daughter calls it “Barbie Pink”.

Thanks for visiting our garden on this rainy day!
