Every time it rains, it rains . . . . Pennies from Heaven!
It rained Sunday.
It rained Monday.

Take a look at the droplet hanging from a branch of one of the lilacs in the collage above.
Our neighbor's house is in it -- upside down!

bottom of the lamp that lights the entrance to our conservatory:

Howard is a great photographer. I've never been able to capture raindrops!
ReplyDeleteBTW, Ollie says to say "HI" to Dion -- alas, because he knows that the computer only does "E" mail -- not the other!!!!!! Besides, he's a little guy and the computer is up on a table -- he can't do his normal "mail"!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm to say "Hi" to Dion for him!
The drops scattered all over the single tulip (?) is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCass, he's getting great with that camera! Yay Howard!

Wow! These photos are spectacular. I wonder how your neighbors keep from falling off the floor when their house is upside down like that.
