After having such a rainy April and May, and having such a hot, dry June, we finally got some much-needed rain today, so I ventured out this evening to capture some rain drops. I played with my macro filters again on my lilies ... still getting the hang of them.  I decided to turn down the saturation on this photo to make it softer.  The lilies are very bright yellow.

The forecast for the next 7 days? ... Isolated/scattered thunderstorms EVERY day.  Be careful what you wish for, I guess.  :)

It rained this afternoon just enough to make me have to quit mowing grass (my exercise ... which I will finish tomorrow) ... but it left some pretty photo opportunities.  And the sun came out almost immediately and dried everything up.  This is one of my lilies that-when it blooms-will be bursting with flowers.
