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.....

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

Beautiful images of flowers. It rains here most of the evenings.
Its pretty hot here in KL, Malaysia. Wow that last PINK is nice.
Thanks for the comments on "Lovely Golden Wattle". We were on tour in India at this time last year (actually from 6th June) and it was so dry with everyone waiting for the rains. Having a farm back in Australia we knew exactly how every one was feeling and sympathised. So I also know how joyous it is to receive that first storm inspite of the damage it has done around your lovely garden. Lovely to make contact with India again.
Nice collection of rainy flowers.As a rain Rain Gauges I love the rainfall....The rain on beautiful flowers makes the things more attractive.....
We are missing the rains here....Hope they come soon. Everything is so dry.
Here is my Wordless Wednesday: French Mannequins.
Looks so refreshing.
Lovely captures.
a wonderful look at your world. the last photo is magical.
I have a lot of rain, and rain out already. :-) I am looking forward to sunny days and days I can have breakfast, lunch and dinner in my backyard. :-)
Beautiful flowers, with delicate tones and colors. mencantan with drops of water. Greetings.
Beautiful photos. Today is our first time to see a blue sky since Sunday.
You've gotta lovely garden, that too with your canopy swing, it should feel great to enjoy morning tea in the garden! Your pink flowers collage is fantastic:)
TQ for visiting n commenting on my post The Giant Flower - Rafflesia
beautiful watershots. I can see it was needed. :)
What beautiful photos - especially the raindrops on the flowers - they are exquisite!
These are beautiful shots , some perfect for cards. Thanks for sharing. :)
Love all the pics but that first one is just a show stopper!
Oh, my goodness, your photos are beautiful. We are looking forward to some drenching of our own here in southern New Mexico, as our last precipitation was a dusting of snow in February, and our last real measurable rainfall was way last October. We'll never achieve the lushness of your world, but a little rain would go a long way here in the desert.
Beautiful blooming trees, and flowers. We had so much rain that I just want a couple days of hot sun now.
How lovely your garden looks.
And such an inviting swinging bench. I wonder what the climber draped over the wall is, and whether it flowers or not.
I remember the rains coming when we lived in the tropics, and how I loved it.
Wonderful and fresh pictures!
As we say in Norway: "There is no bad weather, just bad clothes"
Happy weekend!
@ jo@o: Thats the Rangoon creeper, popularly called madhu malti here in India. It bears tiny reddish pink flowers in bunches... here's a picture... @ http://mye-musings.blogspot.com/2010/07/madhu-malti.html
You have some garden, and your photos are very beautiful! Nice blog!
Your garden looks lovely. Nice photos you got here, especially the pink flowers. How was the mango? Sweet?
Thx a ton for the comment. The Dusheri mangoes are sweet when ripe, they are suited for making pickles n aam panna when unripe n tangy. The combination flavour makes them quite popular here in N. India.
Beautiful pink flowers - the Crepe Myrtle is gorgeous. Your garden looks very lush.
Gorgeous flowers. . .happy to find your blog (hopped over from Skoog Farm blog).
It looks like a beautiful garden, lovely flowers!

Your garden looks absolutely beautiful! Here in NY, we had a bad storm yesterday. It went from 97 degrees to 61 degrees in 90 minutes! Today is just beautiful, and hopefully, it will stay that way for a bit.
Have a wonderful weekend!
