Lovely raindrops

This weekend we were blessed with soft, steady rain showers.

And all the plants looked refreshed, having waited for a month for rain.

Drops of water hung onto the tips of twigs on the abutilon shrub.

The raindrops transformed the dried California figwort branches and blossoms into otherworldly beaded necklaces.

We hope that the rainy weather continues, to help ease the drought.
