It's always raining in Illinois. Correction; it's always storming in Illinois. So when today's latest down poor swept through my camera came out to play! I love the black and white image of rain drops on the edge of the table, it feels very timeless.
Water drops are so beautiful and so difficult to capture! I thought the flooded drive way would provide some good action shots but I think I needed a more violent storm for that.
And more rain drops bouncing off the back patio....
A few weeks ago the city council decided that it was time to remove all of the ash trees from our neighborhood. It's devastating because we had a a very large, old white ash tree right in front of the house. It kept the house shaded and cool in during our hot and humid afternoons, and provided some privacy. Well it is gone now and only the stump remains. Here's to a lost friend!
And here's to the quickly approaching end of summer and end of summer flowers!
After having a busy, productive morning, a little green tea seemed like the perfect afternoon pick-me-up! Leave it to Yogi Green Tea to add some inspiration to my day.
