Rainy Day Walk in the Garden

Well, it doesn't look like I'll be digging in the dirt today, but that's okay.  I was able to meander around the garden inbetween rain showers and took a few pictures.

I love how the rain darkens the tree trunks and really makes all the different green colors pop.  This is in the preserve that our yard backs up to.

I love how all the leaves and flowers are dripping with raindrops.

This Hibiscus almost looks like it's encrusted with jewels.

I was pleasantly surprised to find the first Gardenia bloom of the season.  It's fragrance is so intense!

Even the spiderwebs are pretty in the rain...

Here's a little closer view

Most of the flowers and plants handle the rains quite well.  Unfortunately, this hot pink Geranium on the lanai suffered a few broken stems.  She should perk up soon though.

It's suppose to be a sunny weekend, so I'm hoping to plant up all the new flowers I brought home this week.
