Summer Showers!

Hi everyone! I'm so happy to report that we've had a day of much needed on an off showers here north of Philly! This is a Stargazer Lily that Ma gave me about 5-6 years ago. I really tried to get a shot of the drops on the leaves, believe me this year the rain is big news!!!
In the past this flower has been dinner plate big, this year not so much, but I'm still grateful for the display! Mother Nature is amazing, the ground is so hard and dry that water just runs off, so the showers (storms) were scattered today. Love that, giving the ground a chance to absorb some, soften up a bit and take in more water with each successive rain. Hopefully we'll have a few more over night too!
I hope Mother Nature is treating you well where you are!
I'm joining the following parties:
