We've had some pretty good rain this month, which is fortunate because we were in drought conditions for a long time. We are now officially in "abnormally dry conditions." That is still a concern, of course, but at least the spring rains are helping the crops to get a good start.
The first picture of a puddle on pavement was naturally without color, but I desaturated it to make sure it qualifies for Black and White Weekend.
The rain has been good for trees too. This one is a redbud.
bravo. magnifique renversement de perspective
ReplyDeleteLove that reflection!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate how you’ve found beauty even in something as simple as rain and puddles—there’s a quiet grace in those moments that often go unnoticed. It’s good to hear the rains are helping the land heal.
ReplyDeleteIn this era when wildfires seem to be the norm, “abnormally dry conditions” is cause for concern.
ReplyDeleteYes, there were wildfires nearby last year.
Delete...it won't stop raining here.
ReplyDeleteI think we are catching up with rain now too.
ReplyDeleteThis past week was rain every day.
Have a happy Memorial Day weekend.
Great to see beneficial rain there. Here we are all still anxious whenever thunder storms appear, since the damage last fall. But when I visited CO it was terribly dry with a drought.
ReplyDeleteA nice reflection in your second photograph.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy memorial day weekend.
All the best Jan
I've always liked rain but sadly it's rare around here. Nice shots!
