Just hangin'

The dragonflies are enjoying the end of the heatwave... at least after I photographed these two (two? yes, two, see extra) it rained. A little.

The ground is parched and crevassed, the grass yellow and crisp. Even the trees are starting to dry out and some appear to be beginning their autumnal shutdown. Rain would be most welcome.

As the gentle and short lived shower hit us, there was that beautiful smell of the rain. It has a beautiful name too. Petrichor; the smell of rain onto dry land. I just stood at the open door and breathed it in.
