Raindrops!

We finally had some significant rain, even here in San Jose. What a joy to hear the rain on the roof, and what fun to walk with the cooler temperature and raindrops on things. Not many flowers are out now, and the roses I saw were looking rather tired and worn, but that didn’t stop me from taking my camera on my short 4.6 mile walk today and using it just a wee bit.

Happy Monday to You!

We’ve had wonderful rain here in our drought-plagued area, and I’m thrilled. (At the same time, I worry for those who are dealing with the mud slide potential and flooding.) I’m a rain lover. Fall is my favorite season and the first rains just make me giddy.

Please have a raindrop-blessed rose from way back in 2017. I still have done SO little photography. Darn Covid has really stifled my creativity, I fear. But I have so many images from the past I will never run out of things to share.

First Visit

I saw the Grand Canyon (North Rim) for the first time ever. But I have a fear of heights and I simply couldn’t go with Dan to see it from the edge there. Even from where I sat I was having issues. In addition, the wind was absolutely crazy. Turned out we drove all the way there, spent a few minutes looking, and headed back out because it was just too windy! Ah well … maybe I’ll get back there again sometime. It could happen.

This is just an iPhone shot: we didn’t even bother with our “real” cameras because of that darn wind!
