After The Rain !

 

As in yesterdays post we had some nice rain . It cleared up just as the sun was setting and shining its beautiful orangey glow on everything !  The air was cool and fresh so I decided to go out and take a few photos . I noticed that some of the trees are changing , some more then others  and leaves are falling  !

 

   This photo above is the top of our valley forest that has a lovely river running through it . We live on a small hill so I get to see this  beautiful scenery every day  from my front porch , kitchen and living room windows !

             When all these trees have changed to red , yellow and orange it is amazing !

      This  photo below is from last year at this time as the sun sets on the top of the valley forest . I can’t resist taking photos of it  every year no matter what the season is as the forest slightly changes every year !

This time last September we were having frost but this year we are having an Indian summer , hot and humid during the day , cool and fresh in the mornings and at night !

I see houses here are slowly being decorated for Fall / Autumn and harvest is just beginning as it is just around the corner  .The First Day of Autumn (Autumnal Equinox) is on Saturday, September 22, 2012.

                                     Until next time hope you have a great day !

Glorious Rain !

 

They said we were to have rain this morning . The clouds kept going around us for hours and believe me I was praying for it to rain as we need it  here at the Cove , but nothing . It was to humid so Miggy and I stayed in and I worked on designing my Country Kitchen Recipe book on office word . Then before I knew it , it was lunch time . Had lunch , then Papa called as he always does and said it was just pouring there , now he is only 20 min away but nothing here BOOHOO !  Then Miggy and I went to sit on the porch  anyways and it was amazing . The clouds were finally coming over us and the birds were frantically eating from the feeders , now I know that means rain and boy did it ever . The strange thing was I could hear a WHOOSH ! sound and thought it was truck tires on the road that’s on the other side of river not far from us then it got louder and closer but then it didn't  sound like tires on the road it was a sound I have never heard , it was actually the sound of the rain falling as it traveled with the clouds before it hit land !

                                                                And then it came down !

                                              The wonderful sound and feel of rain !

                                Of course Miggy just had to lap it up from the puddles !

          And I had to take photos of the rain drops on my flowers as they sang for joy !

        I just love taking photos of flowers with rain drops on ! Cant ya tell ? lol !

I guess this squirrel figured it was raining so Miggy wouldn’t want to chase him off the feeder ! He was right , Miggy was to busy following me around and lapping up the rain puddles as I was taking photos in the rain !

                         As I write this it is still raining and there is a bit of rumbling in the sky .

                                                                       Oh Glorious rain ! 

                                     

                                            Until next time hope you all have a wonderful day !
