After the rain
the world is a little softer –
edges blur and drip and shimmer.
After the rain
bright, beautiful reflections are illuminated
through droplets like liquid mirrors.
After the rain
the earth smells of growth
and life and freshness and hope.
After the rain
my heart feels renewed
and cleansed and full of new possibilities.
After the rain.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
This week’s WordPress Daily Post Photo Challenge is to use the Rule of Thirds with a Bokeh Effect.
It’s been snowing non-stop here in Mars this weekend, but I took this photo a week ago when in Florida. I always love the way flowers look after a rain shower. I thought this photo was a good example of the challenge effect, and it also reminds me of warmer sunny days and wonderful memories with a dear friend.
Happy Sunday!
Cheers & Hugs,

Ok – so I’m not quite the “Mary Mary Quite Contrary” Nursery Rhyme Poet that Mother Goose was…
But OH How I LOVE to watch my Garden Grow!
I only started vegetable gardening – again – a few years ago – and my garden is just a tiny, manageable patch…
with enough tomatoes and cucumbers for fresh salads by mid to end of summer (and OH I just can’t wait for these to turn RED! – and my Orange Pineapple Heirloom tomatoes to emerge!)
and some spicyJalapeno peppers to zip up fresh salsa!
and some banana (Hungarian Wax?) peppers to stuff with spicy sausage!
and I love how fresh and clean everything looks in the morning after a night of nourishing rain.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
