Today morning I woke up to this really awesome weather after the rain and the dust storm, last night. The storm did leave its trail of leaves n branches strewn all over the yard, a basket full of Mangoes which must have fallen down during the storm, a displaced bamboo fencing,10 -12 broken pots wherein their plants had to be re-potted first thing in the morning n more....
YET, in-spite of all this damage, I am not complaining and merely enjoying the aftermath of the first rains of the season.... the wet grass, the distinctive scent of the soil after the rains, the pearly droplets on flowers, overcast skies n the refreshing site of the rain washed greens all around....

| The Garden... after the Rain this morning |
 |
| Bougainvillea in all its glory. Wonder how these delicate paper-y flowers are still up there even after the storm???? |
 |
| Fountain Palm.... braving the changing seasons, 24 * 7... 365 days a year! |
 |
| Bravo! This MANGO seems to have stuck it out.... |
 |
| ........while most others, were 'Gone with the Wind' |
 |
| Crepe Myrtle.....in Pretty Pinks! |
 |
| PINK..... Seems to be the colour of the season in our garden this summer |
 |
More Pinks @ Portulaca's, waiting in the wings to bloom n for the sun to come-up again.....
"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating;
there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather"

Hope you enjoy the 'good weather' times ahead..... |
