We've been having unusually warm weather for over a week - and today it cooled down and the rain came back. Almost like a monsoon for a little while - but then it cleared off and we had some sunshine. My flowers on the deck got a good soaking and they looked so pretty in their lovely "rain coats".
Foxglove leaves - these will bloom next summer. You can see our house reflected in the big drops on the left and the right.

Great raindrop photography!
Your post was like a visit to a fairy garden. I can picture them huddled beneath the leaves for protection from giant raindrops!
My favorite scent of summer is freshly mowed lawn, particularly after a refreshing rain.
How beautiful your photos are...I love the raindrops...
Those photos are great, JoAnn! I wish my macro shots were that wonderful. Those raindrops are making me thirsty!
Have a great upcoming week.
Beautiful shots! Everything looks so fresh! My favorite is the sweet pea...and I'm surprised to see you have a forget me not coming up in summer. They usually come and go in spring, don't they? We've had rain threatened for several days but none has come yet.
I was thinking as I viewed your pictures, that I could smell the air around that shower.
Raindrops on anything are so pretty. It would be hard to choose a favourite summer scent - freshly mown grass, tomato leaves, roses, sunwarmed forest, and so on. We had cloudy skies this weekend but not a drop of rain which is too bad because we could certainly use some.
Lovely garden flowers...so glad you are ok and not in the fire area out there
