Crowning Rain

Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.

~ Antoine Rivarol

I know our weather is nothing compared to Irene and I pray everybody is safe!

We had some heavy showers today. The rain splashed on the garden-table and made a whole table filled with water-crowns!
All I had to do was aim and press, stay dry behind the glass and observe...

Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments, I'm behind on commenting on your pictures, so sorry! I hope to look at them all tonight or tomorrow. Apologies for not commenting as usual.
