Rain Stopped Sun Shone

Hello and Welcome To One Of My Early Morning Discoveries

After Days Of Rain, The Sun Greeted This Morning By Revealing With Its Light, Flourishing, Refreshed New Growth...

                     

                    I think December took a look at my goals for Postings and giggled. The reins I felt I had begun to just manage, December has hoisted from me, and is having a merry time cavorting me at speed uphill, downhill and round corners to experience the unexpected and topple me out of aiming to be conservative. With full success too, cause I'm here again. 

         Today (Mon 20 Dec 2010) has been the first day since 16th December rain has not happened and the sun shone. I began my morning delightedly and absorbingly distracted browsing around my friend Laura's recent ForestWalkArt Posting - http://forestwalkart.blogspot.com - when a feeling of family starting to tap their various styles of feet, reminding me where I am supposed to be and doing first.  Reluctantly returned to base, only to be distracted again.  Vocal complaints resulted this time.  But golly gosh, remaining raindrops on morning sunlit flowers is irresistible for me.
        Vivaz phone fetched and I'm so pleased with the results presented in this sharing.  I did eventually achieve the necessary necessities too.

        For those experiencing the cold may the images give warmth. For those experiencing Summer's torrential rain aspect and resulting flooding instead of heat feel uplifted.

This is a Jasmine Shrub, and Family. We've been together now 10yrs. Find doing photos of Jasmine not easy. Flowers are tiny, though the scent intoxicatingly heady. Remaining rain still visible.

Love early mornings. Moments like these happen. And in continuing with the magic of Jasmine Flowers, this is another. The cluster is so full of freshness from the rain. The remaining raindrops beautifully uplifting.

This, and the following photos are the Flowers who give birth to Guava Fruit.

Nature is truly a gift.

 On right you can see the Guava Flower finished being a flower.

Love the way the sun's light works it's way with the blossoms. Flower on right, on lower petal has a rain droplet almost ready to fall.

Is hardly visible... underside of leaf on right is one tiny raindrop above the beginning Guava Fruit.

To me Nature is a powerful artist

I simply love the composition, the interplay of light and textures.

  

Was unable to resist adding this second one of the previous. This one's central pocket of illuminated white and lens flare felt captivating.

This was an unexpected treat, even without the Bee's head visible... it's hind legs are full of pollen.

Then the following happened. I feel rewarded for having fulfilled the necessities.  Such a cutey too.

While walking with my dog about the yard. Discovered the busy caterpillar. Raindrops are still scattered along its body. Oh, and the head is inside its munchy.

Rather like Caterpillars. Is certainly working its way through its munchy. The munchy might not be too pleased, but I checked at midday, and both were still doing fine.

And then this final moment.  By this time morning had set in.  Is just passing 8am and the heat is building.  There's much squelching as one walks about.  Humidity will build while the water evaporates. Good part of evaporation is the ground doesn't sour.

Grassy type seeds, encapsulated within pockets of remaining rainwater.  Noticed them along fenceline below caterpillar.

        A rather lengthy Posting.  I know images are not high quality, yet they are special and beautiful to me.  And that is what I'm sharing.  Personally am very pleased.  Had been a lovely event and result.  A nice way to say hello to the Sun, while squelching about the very wet grass. 

Thank you, from Magda

Until soon, which seems to be getting sooner each time
