A Not Too Hot Sunny Day


After enduring a summer of drought, 
last week we finally got the cooler temperatures 
and rain we so badly needed. 
Flowers that had not bloomed, 
or that had bloomed and died from the heat, 
seemed to have blossomed again, in time 
for one riotous burst of color before fall.

Riot is right! That's fabulously bad for the eyes.

Simply gorgeous colours and light here.

Last Saturday, after the rain had passed through, it seemed like the flowers were making up for lost time. Roses were blooming, vines were crawling from their pots onto the sidewalks, and the grass had turned from straw to green carpets.
