This morning it rained after a long draught. Of course, the rain ended too soon but the skies are still overcast so maybe more is on the way. During a lull I stepped outside to get a few photos, “close-ups” of fading blossoms adorned with their watery diamonds, a souvenir from the heavens.
Early this week I played “hookie” and Richard and I drove out to a nature preserve. It was a wonderful break from studies and I was able to shoot some nature close-ups of wildlife I had never been able to shoot before (not the sharpest photos, but fun nonetheless).

Not spooked by me at all! I could reach out and touch this beauty. I shot quite a few frames before it flew away.
Now that school is on break, I hope to take more days away to enjoy the natural world. Thanks for stopping by.
