R is for........

RAIN. We've had a lot of unseasonal rain where I live, So much, that it's becoming a bit of a nuisance and people are complaining about the inconvenient weather.How soon we forget. Not that long ago we were in the throes of a drought, and complaining about water restrictions.
Rainfall is fickle. What nourishes and enlivens one day can turn into a raging destructive force the next.
Rain can cleanse. It sweetens the air and makes the landscape sparkle. It makes ducks happy, and frogs, well, they are ecstatic.

Rain, a reason for joy, a force to fear , a bringer of life - and death.


Raindrops - at their most benign

Rain is the life blood for plant, animal, insect, everything. I am not one of those complaining about the amount of rain, we have been in drought for so long I was scared we would never hear the sound of raindrops on the roof again.
Nice Photos
