Here we are in the summer rain again
It was sunshowering most of the afternoon, so without doing anything as sensible as looking for rainbows, I went for a walk with my ancient digital camera which now turns itself off at regularly inopportune moments and still managed to capture some rain-dusted flowers.

The neighborhood hibiscus are reliably beautiful in all weathers.

The rain beaded on their veined petals like eyespots.

They even looked opulent when blown backward like umbrellas.

None of my pictures of the glistening scales of plane bark came out to my real satisfaction.

The telephone wires made it look like the tree itself was broadcasting.

I liked the soft beading of the rain on the down of the lamb's ear.

Not pictured: the begonias that looked like a crumpled hat. The marigolds seemed totally unfazed.

The sunset was spectacular and the ceiling lamp in my office added an in-camera flying saucer.
