April Showers! :)

Even though those of us living in the great Pacific Northwest, are ready for warm weather, - myself included, - there is something unmistakably refreshing about an April shower! :) I love to see the raindrops send circles echoing across the bird bath! :)

It's fun to listen to the soft pitter-pat of the rain hitting the roof and surrounding surfaces! :)


My eyes are always drawn to the light-lit globes dangling from the tree branches! :)


Even the flat boards of the deck look playful with the drops dancing on them! :)


If you click on these photos to see them enlarged, you may even see the lively streaks the raindrops make as they race each other to the ground! :)


While the shower lasts, they mute the colors around them, ...


and those very colors seem that much more intense once the showers cease! :)


That's when everything seems refreshed ... :)


And so full of joyious life! :)








Just one look, ... and we know the May Flowers are soon to follow! :)
