Raindrops

We had our first significant rain of the season last night. About 2:00 am, the heavens opened and the rains began (though as I write this it is again sunny, hot, and humid). Of course, being the first storm we had the requisite power outage. It is slightly disconcerting to wake up in total darkness. It is even more unnerving to realize there is no more air conditioning or even the over-the-bed fan. My internal temperature instantly started to rise. Fortunately, unlike previous times, power was restored in a short time and our man-made cooling breezes began to flow once more.

After a number of complaints about not being able to view my posts in large, I have made a concerted effort to upload a bigger image this time. Check out the raindrop on the flower's stem. It has a pretty cool reflection that is only visible large.
