Rainy and Sunny Thursday

Today has been a very odd summer day for our neck of the woods. The sun will shine and then the world turns dark. In the next instant, a steady rain falls, drenching mountain bikers, dogs, and flowers.
Just as fast, the rain will stop, and the sun will shine, quickly drying a mountain biker's clothes, making the rain a distant memory. We rode through the storms and played in the flowers when the sun shined.
After one shower, I noticed the beauty of the a drenched Columbine.
After the next shower, I noticed the wild roses with raindrops on them.
Then, a steady rain ambushed me. Between that rain and some fatigue, it seemed to be time to call it a day. Time to rest.

And now it looks nice enough to sit on the deck. A strange but beautiful day...

    We've had crazy weather here all of June. I'm hoping July is a bit less rainy! Your weather has certainly made for some lovely photos, though!

    I'm really hoping we get some rain here, soon! It's so dry and hot. Very weird for this area!

    I love the raindrops on the flowers! We have wild roses here, too and they make the park I go to smell so good! I love them!

    We have had those quick downpours here lately as well. All of a sudden the sky opens and it pours. Five minutes later the sun is out. Love your flowers after the rain.

    If anyone had any doubt about climate change, this year Nature is making her voice heard!!! it is crazy on every part of the globe; gone are the steady seasons we recall from childhood... or is that just another trick of memory???

    LOVE that first image!!! YAM xx

    Weather has changed! We here in the Upper Midwest don't seem to see as much crazy stuff as other areas do,but its all different. Most of the old-timer farmers say its just one of those years but I'm not convinced of that at all. We have had warnings about what could happen for 30 years or more and now it is happening!

    Your beautiful photos are very touching!

    Cheers,
    Jo

    Doesn't the rain make for a very slippery ride? But then, I guess with all your experience, it is easily handled.
