Rain? you said…

Tell me how many beads there are 

In a silver chain Of evening rain, 

Unravelled from the tumbling main…

Did I fully understand when I came to live here, in rainy Vancouver that a vast majority of the days would be gray coloured and filled with clouds? that rain would be the most common type of precipitation? may be not…Yet looking at the photographs I took yesterday, I could not be happier about our “liquid sunshine”…

Looking at those water pearls as if they were entire worlds, often fascinates me. Finding beauty in the rain drops sure helps. I am taking such a deep pleasure in the little and simple things, and nature’s beauty is opening my heart. Poor tulip resting on a wooden log waiting for the rain to stop, asked me to take her photograph, I gently obliged 😉

Those blue flowers had a far better time than their neighbour the tulip. The rain drops did not seem to weigh as heavy on their petals. Furthermore, it gave their beautiful colour a bit of shine and luster. Those are some of the treasures in my front garden after a sudden May shower. But wait there was more…

The last of my treasures, were hanging out on a blade of grass. Watery jewels of sorts with light reflecting on their beauty. As I discovered yesterday, for any one willing to look close enough, there is so much to see and to appreciate. Rain being still on the menu for a while here, it will be my pleasure to share with you more of my watery pearls treasures…

Happy Friday to you all 🙂
