More rainy day photos...

Flowers look especially lovely with some beads of rain on them, don't you think? In the photo above, an abutilon bud with a large raindrop.

Below, abutilon blossoms, a hummingbird favorite, on the same shrub.

And a lavatera flower, below. Here, after the rain. As soon as the sun was back out, the bees were busy sipping nectar from the blossoms on this huge shrub.
