Welcome to the pond

Flickr Fun Saturday

We've had rain pretty much every day for the past week lately. It's a bummer after the few weeks of sunshine we had earlier, but that's what you get with Spring.

In honor of the gloomy weather, today's FFS is rain-themed.

This first picture says a thousand words about the state of things where I live, and what I'd like the rain to do.

Sometimes rain makes things pretty, like this sidewalk.

Shadow and ripples in a puddle.

Sometimes you get a mist after a good rainfall.

Rain always covers things in little beautiful droplets.

Umbrellas are a must to keep yourself dry.

Rain is an essential part of life, for it makes things grow.

"A lot of rain" - The title of this photo describes things perfectly.

Rain is nature's way of making you reflect on your life - both what you can see and what you think and feel.

Rainwater, after it falls, becomes a part of everything it touches, even becoming the same exact color like what happened to this leaf.

Walking in the rain is nice, but it's even better with a companion.

Rain can be beautiful from afar too.

I have nothing poetic to say about these colorful leaves after a rainfall, but I think they're very pretty.

Where does rain come from? Clouds, of course.

Your reward for sticking through a drenching rain is a beautiful rainbow. It's nature's gift to you.
