Drinking up the rain... by marlboromaam

Drinking up the rain...

Filler from one of last week's storms. Everything was so thirsty for water. I know my maple tree was happy! The ground soaked it right up!

Got the backyard mowed this afternoon. Wasn't a dry stitch on me when I got back in the house. It's so damn hot and humid! Ugh! Will see if I can't get a good start on the front tomorrow after I tend to a little business.
Beautiful! Love the lighting

Pretty shot, Maggie. We just got a brief storm. Cats and dogs for a while but far from enough. At least it cooled down a little.

Great b&w! So glad you got some rain recently...know it's still hot though. We are looking at 104 for the weekend!

Lovely shot--you always manage to get bokeh and it's beautiful in this shot. I'm glad there is something for them to soak up ; ) Hope you even get more soon. Good luck with all you have going on.

Pretty black and white. I am glad you got some rain. Rain alludes this area. It is hot and dry. We are having basement foundation work done. Would you believe the workers did not hit moist dirt until 6-8 feet down!

@beckys Thank you, Becky!

@danette Thank you very much, Danette!

@daisy Thank you so much, Kathryn! Wishing you showers without the storms! It is so dry throughout most of the country. Hoping and praying for relief!

You may be hot and sticky, but at least the grass is growing again! Lovely capture of the leaves.

@lynnb Thank you, Lynn! It won't stay that way very long in this heat without more rain though. In the past five years, the grass stayed brown from July through September, only to green up a little before the winter months. This year we've gone from severe drought status to moderate drought status.
