And ... the other Japanese maple in the rain

Rain bringing out the colour in both the leaves and the pot.

(I potted my Japanese maples so I can bring them in the garage to over-winter.)

Japanese maple in the rain

Raining in January

Friday cloud, raindrop and sunset blogging

Some interesting patterns and pretty colour from Wednesday, thanks to the work of M. Nature. A rainstorm blew through quickly (at least in my end of the city; to the east there were power outages and downed trees), breaking up the clouds as it left. The nifty cloud patterns were caught and mirrored in the water drops on the window.



A closer view of the drops (cropped from original) below.



The setting sun hit the remaining water drops hanging on the glass, creating pretty bokeh lights.



And then the sun hit the clouds, colouring the sky gold and pink.

Finally some rain

It's been a long, hot week. Here's hoping the rain will usher in cooler temps.
