Nasty rainy day, after weeks of dry weather the hard ground doesn't absorb it. The grass lies covered in puddles. Fallen leaves lie sodden in the puddles and the little streams. The tree, as you see, still keeps a few leaves though they are dripping with wet. More like clouds of colour here and there. The rest is black branches and the dull grey sky.
It's different in the Southern hemisphere as you can see in Lynette's first post today. Welcome Lynette! The oaks should be flowering over there by now.
It's nice to have rain and be out in weather that you can feel. Here are a few more pics I took. Leaves lying in the puddles, leaves on the tree running with water, drops of rain on those spiky bits of the oak tree that I think are caused by some disease or gall (I'm trying to get hold of some expert who will tell me) and finally the gorse flowering. The gorse only flowers when it's kissing time and that is the joke because gorse flowers all round the year if you bother to look carefully enough for the flowers. And there is no better time for kissing than when the rain falls on a grey day outside and inside there is warmth and kissing
and love.
