It was a warm night last night, 25C in our bedroom even with the windows open.
Early this morning, as I drove up the hill, I could see the promised rain clouds looming.
By lunchtime , after a muggy morning, the rain arrived - big time. I'd gone up to the staffroom to print some photos and the heavens simply opened. I decided to wait out the rain before venturing across the flooded playground back to the main building.
Unusually, it has s
tayed very warm even with the rain.
Back home after a tiring day, ( the children seemed to be especially noisy today after
investigating ice and eating their ice lollies), the rain continued unabated. So I went out and took more rose pictures anyway.
The arum lilies make wonderful shapes as they unfurl. I've a couple of main clumps which tend to seed themselves around the garden.
The house is extra quiet tonight as
Romas is back down in
Bude for a band practice or a gig. All this rain won't be good for the beach parties they always seem to be having.

ReplyDeleteOh I am jealous, you've got such wonderful things to photograph. You've captured the beauty of the plants and the drops of rain just make them even more attractive.
