Spring flowers laced with crystal tears…
the warmth of Summer nurturing her flora…
A lovely friend posted a couple of photos on Facebook this week
of her garden flowers in the rain, and as we’ve had a fair bit of rain this May
it made me think of my own flowers decorated with diamonds…

It rains a lot in Wales, but that’s not a bad thing.
Taking photos of flowers in the rain offers a beautiful clarity and charm.

Water is the essence of life, watching thirsty plants flourish shows how vital it is to all of us.

Dewdrops, crystal, diamond rain, reflection, life, clarity,
nature’s mantle to beautify our lives…

Beautiful pictures Lisa. Here’s me thinking we’ve done well this month, not too much rain and quite a lot of warm days plus some sunny but not so warm days that still make you feel good. Perhaps we’ve been luckier in North Wales than where you are. The sun is already shining this morning though I don’t know what the forecast is yet.

So much rain this last few days… but should be getting sunnier days soon! xxx
Stunning pictures, Lisa ❤
Thanks, Julia, it was your photos that inspired me! xxx
Gorgeous pictures. I think my roses look like they are enjoying a decent shower when covered in raindrops and when the blackthorn is flowering I always think it is wearing a bridal veil in honour of Beltane – the rain and dew are the jewels.
I love your analogy! The rain just freshens and nourishes everything!
