SkyWatch & FLORAL FRIDAY - Dark clouds and desert flower


We were so lucky to have a thick cloud come up
and drop 4.5 mm 

everything in the garden perked up for a little while


a slightly closer view of our rain bearing cloud and sunset


a tiny white star gleaming in the desert
for Floral Friday

    Amazing how the garden instantly rejuvenates with some rain. We were lucky enough to have 18 mils last week. I was happy, but not so the farmers with crops ready for harvesting.

    Our sky today looks very similar to yours here... but no rain here. We've had more than our share lately so we're not in need at all.

    Great sky - there is still a fence around Stonehenge - but I managed to avoid it in my picture.
