Gentle Weather

A wet leaf twitches.
Soon, another does the same.
Light rain is falling.

Wind After Rain

Trees came down.
Homeless lichen and
homeless moss.

Maple memories
linger on downed branch.

The sound of dry rain
fills the air above my yard.
“Keep the rake handy.”

How something looks may depend on how it is viewed. Consider storm clouds.

Storm Clouds #2
|Looking down, I’d see
|clouds caress dear Mother Earth.
|Rain for thirsty trees.

While doing a little yardwork before predicted rain, I glanced upward and noticed how trees framed a bright cloud in a darkening sky. I ran for my camera and took a few photos. For this post, I tweaked the image to mimic the ominous look I had often seen but not photographed.
The Blue Marble image was downloaded from NASA Visible Earth: The Blue Marble. Making NASA’s image cost a lot more than making mine. That’s OK. It was money well spent.
