Rainy day

On Saturday, we had strong thunderstorms early in the morning, then gentle rain most of the day. It was such a blessing, so pleasant and so rare, I wanted to remember it with pictures.

I think, judging from the dark colored bill, this is a snowy egret. Also, we usually see cattle egrets in groups. Pretty thing. The dead pine, which fell into the pond last winter, has been great perching for birds. I saw what I think was a green heron there on another day.

They are simply lovely. I love the way water clings to plants in general, and it's so awesome that you went out and got photos to commemorate just such a thing. They are evocative, and make me wish I was there! I love the rain.
