And Then It Rained

Since the lockdown started in the UK just over 5 weeks ago, the weather has been really nice. Lots of sunshine and warm but not too hot, ideal conditions for a walk in the hills, so it has been rather frustrating.

This all changed yesterday with rain for most of the afternoon. My enthusiasm for going out declined, and I watched the rain falling on the roses in our front garden. My camera was soon busy, and this is one of my favourites - and all achieved without getting wet!

I love that droplet just about to fall. I am liking the rain at the moment, I don’t feel so bad about not getting out but on the downside, no photo opps. You have come up with a great way to capture the weather, very nice shot.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.

Following the rain on Wednesday, the skies have remained cloudy and it has been cooler, but there has been very little further rain.
